This movie starts very slowly. Its characters are very slow to catch on, even when they're told exactly what's going on. Lots of recognizable actors if you were born in the 80s or before. I never realized Tim Matheson used duck face so much. His acting was way over the top, in my opinion. Woody Harrelson unintentionally (or intentionally?) played a mouth-breathing creeper. Typical TV movie pacing with a story that keeps getting side tracked and a script that keeps the audience way ahead of the characters. I was surprised at all the high reviews. While not completely original, I found it to be an intriguing story that just took way too long to tell. It felt plodding and clumsy to me. A few things that kept me watching were: Pamela Sue Martin and some of the rest of the cast, including Barbara Billingsley, who did decent jobs despite the script; scattered interesting scenes and moments of ambience that were more plentiful as things went on; and waiting for the payoff, which, to me, was surprisingly enjoyable, albeit abrupt. Was it worth sitting through? Not in my opinion. You could do worse, but you could do so much better, too.

This is one of the best horror movies I have seen it is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also great special effects. It is very scary. It got 5.2 which is a good ratting. But kind of the low of this movie. You may not want to watch this movie alone. Because really this is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. I give it a 9. 5.2 is underrating it. This is scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. This movie is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do.

Successful businesswoman Linda (a winningly spunky performance by the highly fetching and appealing Pamela Sue Martin) and her unhappy husband Jerry (a solid performance by Tim Matheson) are new arrivals in the sleepy small coastal community of Bay Cove. However, Linda suspects that something is amiss with the townspeople in the area. Director Carl Schenkel, working from a compact script by Tim King, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, does a fine job of creating and sustaining an appropriately spooky and mysterious atmosphere, grounds the fantastic premise in a credible everyday reality, makes good use of the picturesque bucolic setting, and pulls out all the exciting stops for one doozy of an eerie climax. The ace acting by the excellent cast of familiar television show faces keeps the film on track: Martin and Matheson make for charming leads, with sound support from Woody Harrelson as affable skeptic Slater, Jeff Conaway as the laid-back Josh McGwim, Barbara Billingsley as sweet little old lady Beatrice Gower, James Sikking as the friendly Nicholas Kline, Susan Ruttan as Linda's loyal gal pal Debbi, and Inga Swenson as the cheery Matty Kline. Shuki Levy's shivery score hits the spine-tingling spot. Jacques Steyn's slick cinematography provides a pleasingly polished and stylish look. Worth a watch.
