No Place to Hide

This thriller really captures you! The main actress (Kathleen Beller) is very good and gives depth to her character, as does Mariette Hartley, who portrais the breakdown of her character well. The music does one of the main jobs to create the strange athmosphere of mystery one can't escape from.

I found this movie highly entertaining. It succeeds on many levels: The acting is superb, the suspense tight, and even the camera work is above par. It's a quiet film that is very easy to watch, with twists and turns aplenty. It's unfortunate for us movie aficionados--especially of the thriller genre--that we no longer have access once a week to these gems that appeared on TV and were well watched. This work took me back to a time when watching movies was a true pleasure. The only negative was the convoluted plot that's revealed as we reach the story's conclusion, but that can be easily forgiven as the heart of the plot of the movie more than makes up for it. One of the best TV movies I've seen, and viewers of good suspense movies won't be disappointed. I rate this film a well- deserved 10.

This made for tv gem is just right for watching when you're stuck at home on a rainy night. Just you, the cat (or to be fair dog!) and a big bowl of popcorn. Kathleen Beller stars as a beautiful young artist who tries in vain to convince anyone who will listen that she is being stalked by an unknown madman...or is she? Could it be that the death of dear old dad has caused poor Amy to imagine it all? Is she deliberately engaging those around her in a childish attention-getting prank? A sympathetic mother, a probing doctor and new boyfriend all try to make sense of things before the killer, real or imagined catches up to her. This above average tv flick is well worth the 90 minutes. Mariette Hartley and Gary Graham along with a strong supporting cast help make this 90 minutes well worth it. Sit back and enjoy!

Kathleen Beller made a couple of very good suspensers back in the '80s. This was one - also known as "Soon, Amy, Soon" (at least I think so) - I saw this when it first aired and just caught part of it again recently. It's great fun, about a young heiress being stalked by a man in a ski mask. However, he never seems to be around when she tells someone about it, so everyone comes to the conclusion that she's delusional. This includes her stepmother (Mariette Hartley) and her psychiatrist (Keir Dullea).

There are a couple of neat twists in this, and the viewer will remain interested throughout thanks to the good script and the fast-paced direction by John Llewellyn Moxey, an old pro.

"No Place to Hide" is a great flick to see some cold wintry evening - one often sits down to watch a suspense or mystery movie only to be disappointed - you won't be this time.

Strong performances by both Kathleen Beller and Mariette Hartley made this such a compelling movie to watch, that you can't break away from it, even though you pretty much know how it's going to turn out.

Of all Mariette Hartley's movies, I think this was probably her best. Her portrayal of the conflicted stepmother was so completely credible, she should have received some sort of recognition for it.

Likewise, Kathleen Beller was utterly convincing as a teen coming to grips with the loss of her father while feeling that she's losing her mind. She was good in several other TV movies in the late 70s and early 80s, but this role was a shining character performance.

The fear, anguish and overall pathos of both characters makes this a must-see for any fan of good thriller fiction.
