Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I thought John C. McGinley shone as the creepy serial murder... the movie had such an air of uniqueness to it, not like some that you can see the plot coming a mile away... lots of talented people and even animals, and through it all a masterful portrayal of Mcginley's character.As the title says, the intensity builds, and just when you think its solved, it gets better.If you've never seen it, you should find it and I'd even add it to my collection when I find it again... we saved it on the DVR.Don't know what else to say, but they want ten lines... I recommend highly.

(SPOILER WARNING!) I really love Dean Koontz' books, yet I somehow must've missed this book because I don't remember reading it. But I was excited to see the movie available via Comcast OnDemand. The movie was frustrating and disappointing. Typical horror movie plot where the lead character is a complete moron and does everything a sane person wouldn't. And of course every possible thing that could go wrong DOES.Hmmm... some psycho just killed everyone in the house. Instead of hiding somewhere, let me follow the guy around and peer through windows and bushes at him. Then I'll sneak on the RV and go along for the ride. She has plenty of opportunities to escape, call the authorities, get away and yet she doesn't. A few more annoyances: -Typical clueless police and innocent bystanders, typical lead character who can't just SPIT OUT what the problem is and get the authorities involved. -I love how the kindly old detective pulls up at the scene of the "accident" and finds the lady dead behind the wheel. He just nods softly and says "Poor old (Missus so-and-so) and her beat-up ol' Chevy" and then gets in the police sedan and DRIVES OFF! LEAVES A DEAD BODY HANGING OUT OF A CAR! (and then gets a "slap on the wrist" later) Oh, and the reason this lady died in the first place is because her car stalled in front of the killer and couldn't be restarted. Darn the luck. (How original) -I also love how the detective told the lead character they probably couldn't get information on the RV because that would have to come from Portland?? and what with the holiday and all.. Because you KNOW law enforcement shuts down for weekends and holidays. Gonna have to wait on that partial VIN until next Monday, I reckon' -The leading lady is already severely emotionally disturbed from her own childhood and gets constant flashbacks, but thinks that she can take on this killer with no prior experience and no weapons, no cell phone, no tools. She spends half of the movie ducking in and out of the killers RV. -There's about 45 minutes of footage JUST of her struggling and moaning while restrained with chains and handcuffs in two different scenes.I could go on for hours. I was just really disappointed. Instead of being a scary movie and taking you by surprise, it was an endless parade of typical horror movie scenes that all consisted of the lead character being an idiot and trying to single-handedly save the day since law enforcement is no help, there are no phones anywhere, no civilization.... You spend the whole movie yelling at the screen "NO! What are you DOING!! Get the heck OUT OF THERE and RUN!!" ugh...

I loved this movie. I believe I saw it on Lifetime television network in 2004. Can you tell me when and where it will be showing again and the time. I am central daylight time.The movie was all the action, adventure, horror, and drama that I love. The actors played their parts wonderful and I was on the edge of my seat.I love Dean Koontz work and I remember in the movie that the crazy man was always fooling the girl. It was just like real life drama. It was so real that it was like being there.Thank you for your help in this matterBreel46

This show is one of the few TV Mini-Series that I have yet to grow tired of watching (since I first saw it aired on Fox in 1997). It is beyond the typical slash & dash, "gore fest", but instead it centers on the psychological redemption of an abused innocent who finally receives her opportunity to fight back years later. Molly Parker was selected & courted for this role after her critically acclaimed role in "Kissed". It is her portrayal of the character Chyna Sheppard that makes this movie above the other "TV Movie of the Week". She is absolutely riveting in her performance, & whenever I am having a bad or perhaps sad day/week...I just replay this movie & it reminds me that "you are not alone". If you want a psychological thriller on the level of Silence of the Lambs, this is one for you. It very closely follows the Dean R. Koontz novel, with a slight twist at the end that helps keep it fresh for even those like myself who had read the book before seeing the mini-series (as there was a twist with the screen version of Silence of the Lambs that helped it remain "fresh" as the end neared). This TV mini-series has never been released on home video, but it is sometimes replayed on "The Mystery Channel" if your cable network carries it. Tune in. You will never be disappointed or alone.
