I remember seeing this on VHS video, scared the pants off me. Great acting and totally believable. Not suggested for people who don't enjoy that suffocating feeling. Highly recommended for those who love horror films.It shows what people will do for money and I believe a real event around this film took place in the US. Scary stuff that makes you think how low people will go.Top marks for Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tim Matheson, believable characters.Gripping story line full of suspense.Highly recommended and I believe you can now get this film on DVD. One to treasure.

Pretty decent horror cum thriller from Frank Darabont, director of the critically acclaimed The Shawshank Redemption.Way above average in terms of both direction and acting for a made for TV movie, with some genuinely disturbing ideas, and some pretty creepy scenes, this is a chiller of surprising quality.The waking in the coffin scene is superb, as is the 'zombie' awakening sequence, and the last 20 minutes or so are excellent once the trap is set.Decent performances from the lead guy, Tim Matheson and Jennifer Jason Leigh is as reliable as ever.Check it out - it won't blow your mind but it certainly will entertain.

This is a simply scary film, and one that I have watched for years. Tim Matheson does a great job in his role as Clint Goodman, as a man who takes revenge on his cheating wife and her lover. He reprises his role in the sequel, and he is still great in that one too (even though he dies saving Ally Sheedy's character, which I HATED!). Jennifer Jason Leigh is good enough as Joanna, but I do think they could have gotten someone better. William Atherton is famous for playing the baddie (or at the very least, an annoying person), and he is perfect in this role. It's a shame we don't see any of these guys as much anymore. There is nothing fancy about this movie, and that is why it's so good. I highly recommend this to those who love a good chill but hate slasher flicks, as it is a great story with great actors. Period.

This film is certainly not run-of-the-mill. The director of Shawshank Redemption shows how, once more, he knows how to tell a story. The soundtrack is one of the best in creating mood and ambiance, communicating without telegraphing. The casting is great and Tim Matheson is what he's best at--a TV actor who fits the small screen as well as, well, some guys fit their jeans. He's watchable. The first time I saw it, the end was a total shocker. After numerous viewings, it's still one of those compelling tales, admittedly not deep, but filled with little details and nuances, like a good Stephen King short story. Definitely deserving of at least a loyal cult following.
