Summer of Fear

I've seen this movie and it is the exact plot as in a book by Lois Duncan called "Summer of Fear", it's a good book you should read it. But still their are no writing credits towards her even though it my say this other lady wrote a book called "Simon Says", it's still the same book and I'm pretty sure "Summer of Fear" was written first. But the movie was ok it really wasn't that suspenseful and it's really a movie you'd have to be up with insomnia to watch.I wouldn't waste 3 dollars to rent it. Though a good movie you should sit through is "Cruel Intentions"!

I think that I read a book by Lois Duncan with the same plot. Is this this movie based on that book? I'm not sure, because the names are different and she is not listed in the writing credits. Anyway, this movie has David Gallagher, who is really cute, so if you're a fan of 7th Heaven, go watch it.

A lot of upsetting and dramatically bad things happen to this family. I sat waiting for the horror to start, but there was nothing but disturbing events. If I liked drama and seeing people upset and hurt, I'd give this a higher rating.

Average cast. Predictable plot. And a happy ending... Uhh.. What kinda movie is this supposed to be anyways? Too lame to be a thriller, so let's say it's one of those semi-suspense flicks. Pretty standard film all in all that really has not much new to offer... If you don't have anything better to do, you might as well watch this.

Summer of Fear aka Stranger in our House was a movie directed by Wes Craven made for TV based on a Lois Duncan novel. Lois Duncan also wrote I know what you did last summer.

This movie is similar I guess in plot but is basically about a guy and his family who go to his family lake house and get carjacked on the way. They are saved by a young guy named just "simon". They settle in to the house and happen to bump into Simon at the town center. From there he invades their life.

Typical TV movie for lifetime which I always enjoy. For a boring Sunday afternoon - I say go for it.
