This movie is neither unique or good. In fact, what makes this flick so memorable is the lovely and sexed-up Joan Van Ark. Van Ark plays a radio psychologist whose parents were murdered when she was a young child. Now it seems the killer is after her. In order to protect herself and her young daughter, Van Ark turns to a cop, and the two have one of the steamiest love scenes in recent memory. Credit the director Nathanial Gutman for not sullying the scene with corny music . Instead, the scene is silent, with the exception of panting and moaning (Van Ark even grits her teeth at one point! ) This scene does make the movie wothwhile, but the hackneyed ending- complete with a did-you-see-it-coming? would-be plot twist, destroys all credibility whatsoever. Kudos to Van Ark, though. Forget Pam or Carmen or Jenny- for two hours, she's the sexiest woman on TV.
Joan Van Ark stars as radio psychologist, Julie Kaiser (originally Jean Kaiser in the novel), whose parents were killed when she was but ten years old. Now, the man she got put away because she believed he did it, is out after 25 years, and is now after her. However, Julie is beginning to believe that she may have accused the wrong man, and that the "right man," if you will, is after her now! I think that this film has got some great cinematography, good performances from Joan Van Ark, and a few scary moments. The music score is very cool. I just found something was missing from this movie. I haven't read the book, but I soon will. I do like this movie, even though alot of people don't. It just has a certain quality I like. An above-average TV thriller.
If you are a Joan van Ark fan, you must get this movie! Joan is beyond sexy in this and they finally used her fantastic body in a movie! Get this for the love scene alone, it is the sexiest thing ever and forever in my memory! The women is so hot!!!!!!!! The movie is good too by the way!!
