The novel by Joe McGinness kept me up all night, and the miniseries kept me just as involved. A North Carolina woman is attacked in her sleep and her second husband is fatally wounded by an unknown assailant. She recovers and is released from the hospital, but her nineteen year old son is acting awfully strange. Gripping and intense, and sure to put a lump in your throat. Another book about this case is "Blood Games" by Jerry Bledsoe. Look for a young David Arquette, and real life mother and daughter Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow play mother and daughter here.

I thought this movie was very well done. I was a neighbor of the family that this happened to and there at the time this took place. With only 2 roads seperateing the house where this took place and my house, I know what the actual feelings of fear were, and the movie seemed to fit right in with what actually took place. The movie was great, and I continue to watch it every chance I get.

I saw this when it first aired, and then again as a repeat on Lifetime or something. It's really quite good I thought. The actors for Chris Pritchard and James Upchurch were very intense I thought and did really well. Ed Asner is always fun to watch too... anyway its a great movie. And for some clarification because none of the other reviews mentioned it... yes this is the one where the kids get all whacked out on drugs, alcohol, and D&D to go off one of the kids parents. It's portrayed well in this film... its just sad that its true.

I saw the movie first, then read the book, they were both good.
The acting by Blythe Danner was fantastic as Bonnie Von Stein.

The other reviewer who said it was disappointing, learn how to spell before you submit a review.

The film was way to dull. I personally thought it was poorly made. The film seemed to be made as cheep as possible. To sum it all up, it sucked!!!

The best movie eve
