Denise Sandler

Villainous blackmailer Denise Sandler

Denise Sandler (Rachelle Lefevre) was a villainess from the 2004 film Deception.

Introduction[]

Denise Sandler was an employee at a private detective agency and friends with fellow employee Erin Greer (the film's main protagonist). Like Erin, Denise's role in the agency was to seduce potentially unfaithful men as a test of their fidelity.

Denise's first (and only) onscreen appearance of the film also established Denise as having an abusive lover in Jimmy, as shown by her appearing at the agency with a black eye. Erin persuaded Denise to leave Jimmy, with Denise promising that she wasn't going to stay with Jimmy before going to ask their boss Jack for a raise.

Later on, Denise was found stabbed to death, with Erin and Jack being called in to identify her body. Denise was posthumously revealed as a greedy blackmailer, however, when the police discovered that Denise frequently approached Jack's clients and threatened to tell their husbands about their hiring the agency's services if they didn't pay her off.

After Dina Gardner hired the agency to test the faithfulness of Dina's husband, Max, the evil Denise approached Dina in an attempt to blackmail her. Unbeknownst to Denise, Dina had already become vengeful at learning that Max was in a relationship with Erin (the decoy sent to seduce him), and as a result, Denise became the first victim of Dina's heel turn and vendetta, when the villainess stabbed Denise to death.
