Nice movie made with pretty involving plot development followed by tones of chill and mystery. I love the way that Michael investigates the crime. Very good acting, very good camera work and above all pretty tense movie. What could have made this movie looks better are few holes in movie developing. First of all there is a lack of the film music. It is a pity that such a good film work wasn't granted with any music whatsoever. Also, there are some holes in the character development. It looks somehow strange that one of the main characters (don't wanna spoil your fun and name him) simply disappears in another half of the movie. Could have been used after that at least at the end. The same goes with the smaller roles of Michael's psychiatrist and her chief. They show up in the movie and then they vanish without trace. All in all, nice entertainment for your night hours.

This is one of my favorite TV movies. I watch Lifetime quite often as they have some good mysteries, but am not normally impressed with the quality of the movies in the sense they mostly seem to be formulaic (and often overtly or ambivalently anti-male). This however is a TERRIFIC movie. Though part mystery, part fantasy, it is very realistic and emotionally seductive. Bell is VERY believable and sympathetic (and also beautiful). For once in an LMN movie the males are not totally stupid, insensitive or uncaring. I loved the ending when I found the apparently "bad" guy (who looked menacing and scary) was actually a hero. The twists and turns were not only surprising but touching. Rarely have I FELT so much in a movie. It raises some disturbing issues but resolves in a positive but believable way. I purchased this on DVD as it is a movie I can watch over and over. The soundtrack reinforces the uncertainty and the emotions, the acting is uniformly good, the script very believable (though addressing supernatural or paranormal issues), the direction crisp and production values relatively high. I recommend this to anyone who likes FEEL GOOD movies and can handle a little bit of fantasy.

I am not normally a TV movie fan but this one kept me riveted from the start and left me an emotional puddle at the end! I saw the trailers and was expecting one thing but the story turned out to be something entirely different. There was nothing predictable or formulaic about it, that's for sure! The only minor criticism I have is with some of the secondary character actors...slightly overacted at times, but the story line/writing more than made up for the minor distraction. Was this an original screenplay or adapted from a book? I have a feeling the book would be even better because there seemed to be a lot of symbolism and detail that could have been missed if you weren't paying close attention in the movie (and could have been more significant/dramatic in book form). Loved the movie...I'd buy the book!

I enjoyed working on this 14 day production. There was an incredible cast and crew who went into making this movie. George Buza was such a great guy. After his recent loss, he did a superb job. Little Emily Swiss was a sweetheart and I shall forever be known as the "bird man" because of her. ;) Catherine was so sweet and kind and down to earth. She's one of the few actor's I met who's still in the "real world". In this show, you'll see my old leather couch go up in flames in one terrifying scene. this production was very thought provoking even in watching it being filmed. Very interested in seeing it aired. It's like one of those 200 page novels you read as a teenager when you hated reading and just could not put down until you finished. I read the script while filming the call centre scene and had to finish it before I could go back to working. A great read and a great story... for those interested in paranormal/psychological mysteries as this.
