    Wonderful!

    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.

    Surprisingly good

    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.

    OK, I give up!

    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.

    Excellent Psychological Thriller!

    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.

    This movie is scary and full of twists!

    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.

    • Trivia
      In an interview, Mariette Hartley confessed that her love scenes with Keir Dullea were so steamy that at the end of each day of filming, Hartley would go home and "transfer those affections" to her husband. On the last day of shooting, when Hartley came home, her husband said, "You know, I'm going to miss Keir."

      After Adele meets with Cliff, he tells her to call James and say that Amy has disappeared. This can't be because earlier the phone line was cut.
