gridoon There is no doubt that Bridgette Wilson is a pretty hot girl. In this movie, however, her "acting" (if you want to call it that) is badly lacking in subtlety. She might as well have a piece of paper stuck on her forehead with the words "Watch Out! I'm Evil!" written on it. All that's missing from her portrait is an evil laugh - and she even does that in her final scene! Rena Sofer does a decent job in the lead, but Alan Rachins and Linda Evans (the father and the stepmother) are stiff - they both end up being killed, but I thought they were dead before that anyway. As for the movie itself, it slams you hard with its obviousness for more than an hour, and when it tries for a twist in the final 10 minutes, it's far-fetched and depends too much on the old "I knew exactly what you were going to do" trick. (*1/2)
triple8 This movie is brutal,disturbing, and certain scenes almost completely unwatchable. As television movies go, many are bad and most are not as good as motion pictures but this was a movie that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope it wasn't based on a true story, though I do not remember seeing that it was(they usually say). If it wasn't-what was the point of the movie? It was so unnecessarily brutal and drainingly hard to watch to the point where you're exhausted by the end of the movie.While the ending was good "payback" the villainess in this, was so repulsive, nothing in the world could have been enough. At least, in many movies like this, there's some intrigue to go along with the bitterness but in this I saw nothing. The villainess was so disgusting it gave you a headache just to watch her for more then five minutes(for some reason I did watch the whole thing) and by the end your so thankful the movie's over you want to hug the television set.In other words-not good. I love Rena Sofer though(she can get better scripts) and Linda Evans is always fun to watch. Too much violence though and not ENOUGH payback at the end especially with the ambiguous last 30 seconds. Just another bad TV movie.
natalia44706 What can I say about this movie. It is a great mystery suspense movie starring rena sofer. Rena left her emmy winning role on general hospital to do tv and movies, and she did the right thing. Linda Evans returns to tv also. If you love a good mystery, watch this movie!!!!!
chsboy87 I just recently watched this movie on USA, and I have to say it is great, Bridgette Wilson did an excellent performence. Everyone should check thier TV guide's for this movie.
