    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent suspense TV movie

    I found this movie highly entertaining. It succeeds on many levels: The acting is superb, the suspense tight, and even the camera work is above par. It's a quiet film that is very easy to watch, with twists and turns aplenty. It's unfortunate for us movie aficionados--especially of the thriller genre--that we no longer have access once a week to these gems that appeared on TV and were well watched. This work took me back to a time when watching movies was a true pleasure. The only negative was the convoluted plot that's revealed as we reach the story's conclusion, but that can be easily forgiven as the heart of the plot of the movie more than makes up for it. One of the best TV movies I've seen, and viewers of good suspense movies won't be disappointed. I rate this film a well- deserved 10.

    MUST SEE mystery thriller!

    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.

      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.
