AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
slsutton-1 i also saw this movie when younger (around 7 or 8) and like the other user comments, i remember one scene with blood all over the place in a house. it scared me so much at the time that i actually remembered the name of the movie, found it on IMDb and am now writing this comment. over the years i have remembered then forgotten again, but from time to time would search for it out of curiosity, as if to see if the movie was really the one i saw. I don't remember anything else, just that one haunting scene. there was something about the presentation of themovie/scene that was very realistic, unlike many movies today. it was like suburban nightmare behind close doors sort of image.
stefanbain I remember seeing this as a child...It would come on TV every now and then. As a little boy, I could never get past the opening scene where Eve Plumb comes home and finds all that blood. I was terrified that it was real. Seeing this 30 years later, it has lost more than a bit of the terror it held over me, but with that said, it is very well acted. The detective story is pretty run of the mill, and not as clever as Columbo, but a notch above Murder She Wrote. The final scenes are pretty powerful and the dialog seems very risqué for the 70s. It is great to see this again; it is very well made for a TV movie and it made me long for the days of 70s TV. Now all we got are Lifetime movies, which are pretty dumb. This movie is not on Netflix, but I was able to order one from www.adifferentcity.com the copy is fine.
worldlaw1 House on Greenapple Road 1970, is a memorably athmospheric murder mystery benefitting from excellent script and superb acting from tough 1970s great leading man Christopher George.
yenlo I started watching this made for TV film partly because Janet Leigh was in it. I was surprised that it turned out to be a pretty good TV movie. Leigh plays a cheating wife who disappears and the men who she has been having affairs with come into question as her possible abductor/murderer etc. This film spun off into the Dan August TV series. Dan August is the plain clothes police officer assigned to crack the case and find the missing Janet Leigh character. Overall an entertaining picture. Janet Leigh looked good in a white bathing suit by the way.
