Extremely Boring

This movie is extremely boring and very slow-moving. It is also rather discontinuous and disjointed. The acting isn't terrible, but the lack of plot movement ruins any effort. Badly in need of better editing. The worst movie I've ever seen.

Moody, atmospheric thriller with Frederic Forrest a standout

A moody, atmospheric thriller based on a novel by Mary Higgins Clark, with Jill Clayburgh in the lead as a woman-with-a-past who just might have murdered her own children. Max Gail (remember him from *Barney Miller*?) has a thankless role as her husband; but the real treat is that under-rated chameleon of an actor, Frederic Forrest, who will probably be remembered as the best character actor of his generation. Besides Forrest, the most memorable character here is the setting--a small New England village on a lush autumn day with a storm brewing. How wonderful it would be to have Max and Jill's house . . ..

Where are they?

This movie is straight out of the 1980s. The mother is ridiculous in her interactions. Everyone, not just the villain, appeared to be mentally ill. The entire movie was shot during a rainstorm, which furthered the craziness. There wasn't anything about the movie that was really R other than the subject matter.
