This movie is a 10!!!

Terror in the Shadows has everything: Daytime soap stars, plot twists, and the element of surprise. The performance given by the cast is phenomenal and the chemistry between the actors makes it really believable. Marcy Walker gives a stellar performance in the role of Christine/Rebecca. She is able to turn the character into a three-dimensional person, which makes the story compelling and terrifying. Genie Francis and Victoria Wyndham also play their roles to perfection creating an on-screen relationship that has the viewer glued to their seat. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys watching daytime soaps or just loves a good horror flick...

Genie and Leigh's chemistry was great!

This was a good movie, not the best but I enjoyed it very much. Marcy and Genie were incredible together, Marcy so believable as a nut and Genie so desperate to be a good mother. I cannot tell you how many soap stars are in this show. Everywhere I looked I was like, "Ooh, isn't she on..." and I couldn't think of which soap! Leigh and Genie did a fabulous job of being so in love which is ironic to me since they were both working on General Hospital at that time where Laura (Genie) was on trial for murdering Damian (Leigh) by bashing him in the head with a baseball bat and lighting him on fire! These two are fabulous together, loving parents and very loyal and protective.

This movie had a great ending!

Additional comments

Once more I'd like to comment on this movie. I especially liked the acting of Marcy Walker. It was a nice role played by her. Unfortunately, the role was spoiled by the scene of the film, but anyway the acting was gorgeous.

I'm very fond of Marcy Walker's acting and I'd like to see more movies involving her. But this movie was one of my favorite ones I've seen by now. I liked the acting also of Mr. Leigh McCloskey. he was brilliant also. I would also like to watch more movies involving him. Thank you for producing such an interesting film !

Dullness with plentiful helpings of predictability.

It's a TV movie so what can you expect? Dullness with plentiful helpings of predictability. Guess what, that's what you get with this movie. The plot is not only predictable but very unbelievable, what's worse none of the actresses are that attractive which should add to the realism, but no just adds to the dullness.

Trying to be completely objective, I would say this soap-bubble weight movie would appeal to women more than men, and if you had a sad life it would pass the time. I must have a sad life then!

"His Name Is Timmy!"...

In TERROR IN THE SHADOWS, Rebecca (Marcy Walker) gives up her son for adoption, only to change her mind and kill the adoptive mother! This inadvertently results in tragedy for junior as well.

Years later, Rebecca escapes from a mental institution, in order to take out her seething wrath on the adoptive father. He also has a new wife and son to worry about.

This isn't a bad made-for-TV thriller. It has its sappy moments, but there's just enough suspense and mayhem to outweigh any silliness...
