Jeff M 02/08/2024 Not to be confused with the Shailene Woodley theatrical film from a couple years ago, this early 90s TV movie feels like it resulted from the popularity of an Australian movie from 1989 called DEAD CALM starring Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill. While not exactly alike, there are definite similarities. Sadly, this one pales in comparison. It is a rather unpleasant experience with scenes obviously meant for tension and suspense that instead come across as merely gratuitous - thankfully the more gruesome moments take place offscreen. To what degree this movie works is thanks to the underrated acting chops of Kate Jackson. I've always felt she was an actress just a project or two away from great things. (She was the first choice for Meryl Streep's role in KRAMER VS KRAMER, but the producers of CHARLIE'S ANGELS wouldn't let her out of her contract.) She carries the bulk of this project on her shoulders, and one can't help but wish she was in a better movie with better performances - a young actress named Kelly Rowan is absolutely dreadful as the female antagonist. It's an instantly forgettable movie that sinks almost as badly as the Titanic. See more 10/09/2014 Nice to see the women being the strong ones.....even though one was demented! See more 02/21/2014 Not entirely good, could of bee worse. It drags on for a bit, but it's pretty suspenseful. The antagonist are to awful to be good, and the plot is a bit thin. The ending is good at least. See more 03/30/2012 Melodramatic at times, but altogether enjoyable 'Dead Calm' (1989) thriller. See more 12/02/2010 Pack a sleepingbag and pillow to help you finish off this snoozefest. A waste of time. See more 08/11/2005 Another good flick that I enjoyed watching... Quite suspenceful, energetic at times, and it definitly keeps you interested... Well performed by all cast members... A must see for all Kate fans... See more Read all reviews
