The thing that bothers me and is so freaky about the movie is that as usual the guilty is protected and the innocent is left vulnerable. The police should give more protection and support to victims of crime. Another thing that's out of line is the accused always has more rights then the victims. This is wrong, and it should be changed.
I give this movie 10 stars out of 10. It's great. I recommend it to anyone who is interested.
This is a typical way of life for a rapist. Rape someone, get away with it for a while, then the cops come after you and at some point you get caught.
The police police need to be more helpful. Our legal system shields the guilty and leaves the innocent vulnerable. This shows how f-ed up our legal system is.
If I had some words for the police I would say start treating people with more respect and dignity. Victims are people whose lives are put in danger and distress because of the acts of others. Kudos to Peri Gilpin, cast, crew and filmmakers. Two Thumbs Way Up!
Where the police knows who the killer is, but they can't arrest him, "for lack of evidence?" Why is it that the killer or rapist is always smarter than the cops? Why is it that in these stories, the rape victims continue to put themselves in harm's way? It looks as if they are TRYING to have the crime repeated.
Peri Gilpin as Ellen Hayward, the rape victim who finds out that she is pregnant and that the rapist might be the father gives an adequate performance, but as written, she's very unwise. D. W. Moffett, as Mitch, her husband, is the same as all husbands are in this type of movie, understanding, but doubtful. Jere Burns is excellent as the rapist/psycho Lewis Snow, who is a lot smarter than the police.
Mr. Burns, I have seen for years in various roles, even in TV series as a regular ("Dear John"). I'd like to see him play more normal, challenging roles for a change. Mr. Moffett has movie star good looks and I'm very surprised that his career hasn't been more prominent. He's certainly as good an actor as many of those who are making big bucks today.
Even when movies are based on real-life characters, we realize how our laws shield the guilty and the innocent is left without protection. In this film, Ellen has poor support from the police and continually places herself in vulnerable positions which gives the rapist easy access. After the initial rape, she has two additional in-person encounters with him! This is what makes the viewer want to pick up a hammer and attack the TV screen.
