I won't even rate this trashy flick. I guess it's what teens want to see. For me it was bad writing, bad directing and very bad acting. I kept yelling at the TV when they were struggling with Tatyana Ali, as a simpering nebish, "push her off, push her off". Unfortunately they didn't I assume for then I changed channels. Next to Ali being the worst actress, the other one, Charlotte Ross, bug-eyed and all, comes in second. Fortunatley she's done in. They boys don't fare any better with third rate acting, especially the one that helps our villainess in the beginning. Don't know his name and don't care to. He has an upper lip that when he talks sneers. Is that acting or habit? Ali is just plain over the hill acting and unbelievable. Ross is outrageous to watch. I tell you her eyes bug out like a beetle. I kept switching channels and coming back once the unbelievable love scenes were over. Don't recommend this one. Waste of your time. And salaries given to the so called talent a waste of the public's cash.

Fall into Darkness is a really good movie, but its an even better book. Fall into Darkness is about how Ann Price's brother Jerry dies from shooting himself in the head. Ann believes that it is Sharon McKay's (her supposedly best friend) fault because Jerry loved Sharon, and Sharon didn't respond how Ann wanted to her to. So Ann comes up with a plan to set Sharon up for Ann's death. It's a really good movie (Chad is really cute, at least I think so), but like I said before, the books are even better (but of course, the books are usually better than the movie). I liked this movie because it's showing you what hate can do to you. In the book, there is more detail and you get to know the character's better too. Anyway, this movie is definitely worth watching.

I really liked this movie and was impressed with Jonathan's wonderful acting in the film. It was a good thriller that was almost as good as the book. I enjoyed watching Tatyana play the lead character in the film. She did well. I would recommend this film for anyone looking to enjoy a good thriller, with lots of twists and turns.At first I was under the impression that Ann actually pulled off her little scheme and was sitting on an island somewhere catching the rays. Who was really behind the whole plot was what was really surprising. I was so entertained by this refreshing suspense drama that is better then even a lot of big screen features. I am glad that this book was turned in to a movie, and I hope for more like it in the future.

I just saw the movie not long ago and thought it was a pretty good adaptation. The actors cast for the characters fit the impressions I got from the book pretty well and they did a good job of keeping the plot the same for the most part. All in all, again, it was a pretty good adaptation. However, I'd have to recommend that anyone liking the movie read the book by Christopher Pike. He's one of the best "teen/young adult" writers out there and does a great job at writing books about teens but not solely meant for teen readers. In comparing the movie to the book, the book (like the vast majority of books made into movies) is undeniably better simply because it can be more in-depth. For those not interested in the book however, Fall Into Darkness definitely gets a high-end rating as far as TV movies go.
