NightScream

This is horrible even for a TV movie. I can't believe it took three people to write this movie. I am not familiar with the novel on which this film was based, but it has got to be better than this. I'd rather watch a "Full House" marathon than this stupid movie. I gave it 2 out of 10 stars only because it was made better by commercials.

This was a film I first started to view on TV in 1997 and was unable to see the final conclusion and I discovered it on a DVD. This film starts out with Candace Cameron Bure,(Drew Summers) falling asleep in her car and then winding up in a small town in Oregon. Drew walks into this small town and is identified as a young girl who was murdered a year ago and there is a ceremonial going on for Drew's memory by her father the mayor of this town. This is a spiritual haunting tale about justice being resolved by the past and evil deeds uncovered for those responsible for this young girls horrible death. Denis Arndt, (Roy Ordwell Sr.,) "Sniper",'04, is the father of the murdered girl (Laura) and Teri Garr,(Mrs. Julie Ordwell),"Kill The Man",'99 plays the mother of Laura. This story has many twists and turns and many ghost flashbacks showing foggy scenes with dark images from this dead girls past.

First Thing I noticed was that This movie lacked Good acting and the second thing was that it lacked good dialogue. With The exception of Casper van Dien I was not impressed. They should have titled this Film screams in the Night to change the channel .

Ok, so this made for television movie wasn't too scary. Then again are most made for television movies scary? No. Even though it wasn't very scary it wasn't a very bad movie. I didn't know who the killers were until the end of the movie. I thought it was corny though how every time she went into a trance she would see the murdered girl and see what happened when she was alive. How predictable is that? I do think Candace Cameron is a very good actress though. I grew up watching Full House. In reality I give this movie a 3 stars out of 5.

Young woman (Candace Cameron, Kirk's sister) in a trance drives to a small town where a girl who looks exactly like her was murdered one year ago claiming to be her. She eventually comes out of the trance and returns to her normal self. The murdered girl's parents offer her shelter, but she then begins to have flashbacks to the murder and discovers someone else other then the murdered girl's boyfriend may have been the killer. Made for television movie offers no surprises or suspense. Candace Cameron makes for a weak leading lady and the film features your usual red herrings. Totally predictable and a total washout.
