Cauchemar

This bizarre murder conspiracy film, with its twists and turns, somehow managed to capture my attention for two hours one morning on TV. I still don't know exactly what happened, probably because all the male characters have the same hair cut and are impossible to keep straight in one's head. This film is brain candy, nothing more, though an agonizing piece at that.

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!

I saw this movie by mistake on a Saturday morning. Before I knew it, I couldn't stop watching it.

Hard to believe this is only a made-for-television movie. It was scarier than many of the horror movies I have seen in theaters.

The movie begins when an art student named Amy leaves her university and soon discovers that there is a man wearing a ski-mask on the back of her car. Soon you will find out Amy has seen this man before but no one believes she has.

The movie has a simple plot line: Amy is being stalked by a psychopath. But the simple plot has more twists than you can imagine.

I saw this movie when it was brand new in 1981. I have not run across it since, but I still remember it. That's what a great movie this is. When I see Kathleen Beller in anything else, I think of this movie. I remember how scary and thrilling it was, with plenty of twists. It's 100% my kind of mystery, and I wish it would be shown on tv again.

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.
