While, by necessity, made for TV movies tend to formulaic, this entry in the horror genre was remarkably fresh in many ways.Set in the gorgeous New Mexican rural areas it is a film that touches all the usual buttons but does so in a way that enables lead Anthony Zerbe to showcase something of his prodigious talent.There is some attention paid to local custom that helps to allow the viewer to forget for a time that he or she is watching a television show and to get some of that ambiance one usually only finds in a theater.I haven't seen it since it debuted in 1991 and so would like to allow someone who is able to view it to also have the opportunity to do as I did and savor the film's twists and turns without any other description.Are there better thrillers out there? Of course but this is a little gem from television that we are unlikely to see the likes of again any time soon.

I thought this movie was very entertaining. The setting, scenery, and actors were all first rate. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates Southwestern U.S. scenery and/or a very good suspense film.

Yet another film about a woman saving her child from evil "witches". It's incredible that such blatant disregard for the members of perfectly respectable & legal minority religions should be shown, but the so-called "witches" in this film are of the Hollywood schlock-fest type. Credibility is stretched so far that it rips in this film, & the explicit linking of Pagan religions, including Voudun & Withcraft, with "black magic" & dangerous, violent behaviour is only part of the reason why. A pretty good cast & gorgeous settings are wasted.
