Don't Look Behind You

I read the book when I was in Junior High some years back, and to this day...it's one of my favorite books and have read it since as a college student even. I didn't even know the movie existed till one day about a year ago when it aired on TV. I was thrilled to watch it until, as said in another review, the end of the first 10 minutes. This movie made you hate the characters, made the plot bland, and the acting didn't do anything for it. I know they say the movie is NEVER as good at the book..but this could be the worse case I've ever seen. If you like the book..don't bother to watch,if you think you want to watch it. Get the book.

I had hoped for several years that this work would be made into a film, and after I saw it, I wished it had not. A true mockery of a great book. The book is so much better than the film because so many parts were changed. The book was much more suspenseful, and somehow the internet became involved. I would not suggest watching this one.

This movie is pure and utter CRAP. Do not see this if you have read the book of the same name by Lois Duncan. Read the book instead.

The movie is okay for, oh, the first ten minutes or so. And then, you realize the kids are brats, the mother is a brat grown up, and the dad is the only one who has the safety of his family in mind and has a brain bigger than a bird's. And then hell breaks lose.

I couldn't even watch this movie all the way through on TV. I turned it off because it made me wince. I definitely recommend picking up the book by Lois Duncan if you can.

Although after 40 minutes the movie goes to a common plot, the beginning of the movie is breathtaking with ups and downs all the time, with a lot of tension all over the almost 2 hours. Patrick Duffy seems to be free from "Boby Ewing" character and is good for other dense performances. Although it is a thriller with murders and tension, you don't have unecessary violence in it.

I hated this adaption of Lois Duncan's book. The book wasn't her greatest work, but it was a hundred times better. The acting was dull, no character development, all they did if there was any acting was whine and be bratty. Because of all this this movie was horrible and I wouldn't recommend it at all to anyone. Don't waste your time.
