Smarta F Nov 18 I love the simplicity of the movie, nothing too strong or explicit, but the end is BRUTAL. This is the best way to tell us, especially us users, that the "monster" is always there.... even when you feel confident and strong, the demon is always there.... and you shouldn't have your guards down, ever, because that could be the last trip..... very powerful! I hope young people see the danger in bad habits..... for me it's been hell, all my bad decisions were during those times..... and I don't want anyone to have to go through the hell an addiction is..... strength and faith in ourselves to all of us!

I have read many of the reviews and I am curious if these comments are coming from people who've watched it in the new millennium. The reason why I ask this is because I myself watched this movie back in 1973, when I was 13. It was an after school tv movie. I looked forward to these special movies when they aired. I would like to share with you that the reason why I was looking for this movie, is because after watching it, it made a huge impact on me. I had many friends who were already doing drugs and always trying to get me to use them as well. Because of this movie, I was "scared straight" let's say. Back then, they made the movies to try to educate the teenagers of the consequences that were to happen if you chose these ways. They had the belief, if they could reach one person, then it would be worth it. I am here today on this review to share with you that, "I was that one they were able to get through to." If you look at this movie in comparison to where we are today as far as movies are concerned, there is none. However, if you were able to view it from the view point of a teenager back in 1973, it spoke volumes. A teenager back then, who's only opportunity was to watch movies on t.v., did not watch to critique, they watched for entertainment, or/and education. I'm not sure if anyone will even read this, but it makes me feel good to share from the view point of "THIS 13 YEAR OLD IT MADE A DIFFERENCE TO IN HER LIFE".

I am not much younger than Alice as I was 8 when this movie came out and I never heard a dealer called a "pusher." The end is oh come on your daughter o.d. and all you say is Alice died last semester of high school one of 5,000 teens to do so.'' Have a little heart mom!!!

I had to read the book in highschool and it has always stayed with me. as for the film i thought the production and direction was pretty good, it's worth a watch. See more 07/17/2014 Obvious an after school TV movie about a teenage addicted to drugs and her spiraling downfall. Mediocre at best. Watch 13 instead. See more 09/20/2012 wasn't half as good as the book. See more Read all reviews
