Heather Locklear and Linda Purl star in this interesting, suspenseful and stylish film about betrayal and extreme competition. I watched this on TV and found it was an above average made-for-television movie that held my interest till the very end of it. Locklear's character may have been miscast, yet she still plays her part to perfection. And Purl is amazing as the psycho secretary that plagues Locklear's character.

Overall, I'd give this 3.5/5 stars. Good viewing, but just needs a little plot-fixing. I love the end sequence with the crystal paperweight. I actually found it creepy for some reason.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS from FAERIE TALE THEATRE was a definite low-budget film. The acting was okay, but O'Neal's version of Goldilocks was definitly not half of what I expected. I expected a teenager who was very mischeivious. Tatum O'Neal did deliver some of that, but otherwise, she was pretty dosey! The three bears were good in their roles, as was the Forest Ranger. The thing I found interesting about this episode of the series is that the production design was based on the illustrations of All-American artist Norman Rockwell. He happens to be the inspiration for all of my many artistic talents. My overall rating for this episode is this: 5-" This means that the film succeeded in bring some entertaining moments, as well as its down moments. It means some acting, some of the writing or camera work wasn't as expected. However, the movie did bring a smile to my face, or a scare, whatever suits the movie best. -- Clob

Nicole Kidman stars as Grace, a woman awaiting the return of her husband who has been at war for years. Her children are eerily allergic to sunlight and the curtains must always been closed. Whenever you leave a room, make sure the door you just closed is locked, before entering into the next room. When three mysterious people show up for a job as servants in Grace's isolated estate, disturbances begin...a family can be seen by the children, the mother sees strange appartions, and all together they can sense the industructable powers of evil! This lavish production contains sensational acting along with a mind-blowing script, eerie sets and a haunting score. With a wicked twist of an ending, THE OTHERS will shock, thrill, scare and terrify anyone who is afraid of the living dead...and the living. Since THE OTHERS is on video and DVD now, I suggest that anyone rent it and then purcase it to keep for themselves.
