    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.

    Very good made for TV horror flick

    Amy leaves her art class late at night and goes to her car. However, she then finds a man dressed all in black resplendent with a black balaclava and shades waiting for her in her backseat. She gets away but isn't taken seriously by the police when she goes to report the incident. Apparently the same man has been following her on previous occasions but has always gotten away. The police think she is a crank and that this mysterious man who is threatening and stalking her is a figment of her imagination.

    Soon afterwards she receives a funeral wreath from the same man. Realising that this is the first tangible piece of evidence that there is that in fact someone stalking her, she goes with her stepmother to the florists to ask who placed the order and what he looked like. The florist is amused as he says that it was her, Amy who walked in and placed the order just hours earlier.

    Is Amy mad? Or is there really a man stalking and threatening to kill her?

    No Place To Hide is another example of an excellent made for TV horror movie. Tense, suspenseful and very well written not to mention perfectly acted.

    In fact it has so many twists and turns that it would make a great episode of either Tales of the Unexpected or Thriller.

    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.

    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.

    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.
