<p>A TV film based on the real life murder of Meredith Kercher starring Hayden Panettiere has apparently been slammed by the British student&#8217;s father.</p>
<p>John Kercher said the production &#8211; which shows his daughter being grabbed by actors playing Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Guede &#8211; was &#8220;absolutely horrific&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Kercher told The Sun: &#8220;To actually see it like this is very distressing.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on: &#8220;The scenes are absolutely horrific. It&#8217;s awful what these film people have done.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 21-year-old British murder victim, from Coulsdon, Surrey, is played by actress Amanda Fernando Stevens, while Heroes star Hayden is cast as Amanda Knox.</p>
<p>The movie, called Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy, is billed as being &#8220;based on a true story&#8221; and comes with the tagline: &#8220;There are two sides to every story.&#8221;</p>
<p>Images have been released in a trailer for the film, which will air on US channel Lifetime on February 21.</p>
<p>The blurb reads: &#8220;Knox was painted as an oversexed, remorseless killer during her two-year trial leading up to her conviction and subsequent sentencing to 26 years in jail.&#8221;</p>
<p>The film poses the question of whether Knox committed the crime in November 2007 or was herself a victim.</p>
<p>Its screening comes in the middle of her appeal process which, if successful, could result in her guilty verdict being overturned or her sentence being slashed.</p>
