Synopsis

David and Cassie Osborne have an argument one night. So the next morning after David goes to work, Cassie runs off to her sister's house for a few days with their daughter Samantha. Only they never get there. David starts looking for them, and her sister, Joanne, thinks David had something to do with their disappearance, and calls the police. Actually Samantha and Cassie are with Roy and Georgina Scudder, and their daughter Jill. Roy picked them up after their car broke down. The only problem is, the Scudders, who seem a little odd at first, won't let them leave or call anyone.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Tonci Pivac This film was Fantastic, its my favorite film of all time, I am the worlds biggest Burt Reynolds Fan and I thought he played this part superbly.You don't often see him in this sort of role which is what makes this movie so good, its got to be the best thriller I've ever seen in my life, Mia Sara Also did a very good job in her role and well done to Angie Dickenson. This is truly a film worth having on your DVD shelf.This film has inspired me to write a lot of good thriller scripts myself. Sean you understand ;)10 out of 10.
brandonsites1981 Disturbing, but trashy flick with three good actors completely wasted. Burt Reynolds tries extremely hard to bring depth and meaning to his repellent character, but comes up short handed. As for Mia Sara and Angie Dickinson, both of these actresses have proven before in the past that they are solid actresses. However, in this effort they are used as little more then scenery or to just cry and acted scared. The director keeps things moving at a snail like pace and both the director and writer of this project can both be blamed for failing to build up any thrills or suspense. A major disappointment, but at least much better things were in store for Reynolds about 2 years later (Boogie Nights).Rated R; Adult Themes, Violence.
pivo_007 This movie is truly one of my favouits. A great thriller with great acting from Burt Reynolds,Angie Dickinson,and mia sara. And very good direction from danny huston. I love this movie so much because I got to see Burt Reynolds as the bad guy. You dont often see that. I hope that he plays that sort of part again. Trust me if you havent seen this movie yet then you better see it soon.
twisted_sista Burt Reynolds finally goes completely insane in this direct-to-video psycho-horror flick about a deranged father who'll stop at nothing to protect his family secrets. Mia Sara is quite good as the hapless victim and disturbed child Jill (Candy Hutson) is entertaining.There are also some gruesome parts such as Cassie's fingernail coming off. Most people have gave this film bad reviews but i enjoyed it and would definately consider watching it again.
