      John W When I was like 13 or so I was going through my moms DVD's because I was bored and found this and thought it had the most potential for a top less scene so I watched it. I did not get my wish for a topless scene, but for whatever reason I really enjoyed the movie. The acting…sucks, budget….low but the soundtrack is quite good, the story I quite good considering it was adapted from a short story that only really is the last 15 min of the movie. It has some big names from the 90s for a random movie. I think if it had been given a higher budget and done a little bit better it would have been a great movie. It deserves more than to be a forgotten lifetime movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I WAS HOPING THE I WOULD FINALLY GET TO WATCH A MOVIE THAT DIDNT' MAKE ME FUCKING SUICIDAL. BUT HOLY MOLY WAS I WRONG. THIS PIECE OF SHIT MOVIE IS PROBABLY THE WORST THING TO EVER PENETRATE MY UNFORTUNATE EYEBALLS. I WOULD RATHER HAVE KILLER BEES INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO MY ANUS OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR ALL OF ETERNITY THAN WATCH THIS PIECE OF SHIT MADE-FOR-TV-GOUGE-MY-EYEBALLS-OUT-IN-HORROR PILE OF ELEPHANT FECES EVER AGAIN Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Call me twisted, sadistic and on the verge of insane, but I think this film can be perfectly described as "beautiful." Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A TV ending that stones to death whatever link there was to Jackson's story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie does its job. It is a great thriller and I remember seeing most of it as a kid so I decided to give it another more full viewing. I remember the stoning and it is pretty violent for a TV movie. The movie has a depressing ending. I felt the way the town was so quiet and secluded was well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Russell is great as usual, but the plot isn't very sophisticated or smart. Though there are suspenseful/scary moments in the film, it's not all that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
