Audience Member Anything by Saul is mesmerizing. "I'm his biggest Fan". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member As soon as I started watching this film, I realized this was was a made for TV horror film that I'd watched as a kid because it was filmed along the Oregon Coast at Heceta Head Lighthouse, which according to local lore is haunted. I remember being kind of scared of this film as a kid, but thought it was cool to see many familiar locations along the Oregon Coast, which is stills true today when I rewatched this film. Putting Oregon Coast nostalgia the film revolves around Patrick Duffy and Cindy Pickett buying a small house by a light house, but begin to encounter suspicious locals and spooky stories of past supernatural events. The film was directed by Peter Medak, who did a series of interesting films in the late 80s and early 90s with "Let Him Have It," "The Krays" and "Romeo is Bleeding." He also directed another terrifying childhood horror movie "The Changeling," but outside of these films he sadly doesn't have may other films of note on his filmography. This film certainly falls into that non-films-of-note category and really doesn't offer much for viewers unless you're into seeing early 80s Oregon Coast, which worked for me and was enough to hold my interest. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Eerie adaptation of John Saul's best selling novel. Creepy and scary, if a bit predictable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member TV MOVIE. So boring! And it goes on and on! CBS 12/11/1982 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I could not finish this one and I had only 10 left.
