Better Than Normal T.V. Movie, January 11, 2002
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.

Nice Television Movie!, May 7, 2000
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.

This is an all time favorite, November 16, 2008
I anxiously wait each Halloween for this movie to air. It didn't this year and I was extremely disappointed. So I decided to search the internet for it and - lo and behold - amazon came through AGAIN! I've watched it several times already and never get tired of it. I'm extremely fascinated with Salem, Mass. and witchcraft and if you are too, this one's for you! Just a bit creepy but full of suspense!
