Jon S Teen star Kristy McNichol took a big chance with this one, eradicating her tomboy persona and creating a complicated (if muted) character, a flautist tied to her widower papa but yearning for her independence...and this is before she's attacked in her rental and ultimately stabs the intruder. Beautifully-designed slow-burn thriller has a terrific score, rich cinematography, and fine performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Sleep therapist tries to help crime victim in this silly suspense yarn about dreams. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
