Product Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD:it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ),SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s),SYNOPSIS: Strange happenings occur when California teenager Sarah (Sarah Chalke) and her mother Rosemary (Markie Post) relocate to the small New England town of Pinecrest. It seems that Sarah shares the same name with a notorious witch who'd been burned at the stake three centuries earlier. Before her death, the "original" Sarah had vowed to get even with all the descendants of the people who persecuted her. A group of snotty high schoolers who've formed The Descendants' Club decide to give the hapless Sarah a very, very hard time -- but the fun is over when, while posing as a fortuneteller at a Halloween party, Sarah discovers that she possesses genuine psychic powers, and foresees a series of disasters that foment a frenzy of mass hysteria in the tiny community. Also tossed into this witches' brew is a mentally challenged serial killer, decked out in a Mike Myers-style mask. Adapted (and heavily laundered) from Lois Duncan's novel Gallows Hill, the made-for-TV I've Been Waiting for You debuted over NBC on March 22, 1998.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Normal T.V. Movie, January 11, 2002

By	Barry "Barrybgb" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: I've Been Waiting for You [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As far as T.V. movies dealing with horror go, this one is better than most. It's based on the Lois Duncan book "Gallows Hill". A mom and daughter move to a quaint,small New England town and into a creepy old house. Not creepy!. It turns out this house was where a supposed witch lived hundreds of years before. She was captured and killed. All of a sudden, strange things begin to happen. I wasn't expecting that!. Okay, I'm done with the sarcasm. A mysterious figure with an old hag/witch face and steel claws in a robe begins stalking a batch of young teens. Many believe it's the ghost of this witch, who has come back to get the decendants of the people who killed her all those years ago. The witch character is pretty flimsy, but there are moments that are better than what you'd expect from a ... T.V. movie jumping on the horror bandwagon. There are a number of familiar faces in this movie. Sarah Chalke from "Roseanne" and "Scrubs", Markie Post from "Night Court", Soilei Moon Frye from "Punky Brewster" and "Sabrina", and Neve Campbell's look a like brother Christian Campbell. The film was competently made, but just a tad bit boring. Not a lot happens. Being a T.V. movie, there isn't much blood or violence. The stuff that is there is pretty tame. The story is all right, but it's not Shakespeare. All in all, it's typical fare, but above most horror T.V. movies. I'm sure not everybody has been waiting for this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Thrills and Chills Than "Scream" 1 + 2 Put Together, June 18, 1999

By A Customer

"I've Been Waiting for You" is one of the best movies of this year. At first I thought it would be just another "Scream" rip off that wouldn't be able to stand next to "Scream" on the video rack. But to my suprise it should be the other way around. Like "Scream", you will never be able to guess who the killer is until he's right behind you, breathing down your neck. Also, I found that the storyline behind the film was very well written with one of the best plots since "Urban Legends". And by the way if you watch this directly before you go to sleep, lets just say you wont be getting any.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Television Movie!, May 7, 2000

By	Humdip Singh (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I've Been Waiting for You [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think over all this movie was not that bad. It was more or less alot like the novel written by Lois Duncan "Gallows Hill" I really enjoyed watching this movie on T.V and I like it so much I bought it again on video. Watch for yourself and then decide if it is good or bad.
