Nightkill is one of those kind of thriller that you dont normally see now a days. Actually, it has a very interesting and original plot that will suck your brain up to the last minute. The first half hour is the so-called "routine" check like all other thrillers but the last half hour is a nail biter.

This movie stars Jaclyn Smith, James Franciscus and veteran actor Robert Mitchum. This is also one of Jaclyn Smith's best performances. I mean, she's gorgeous in every angle, the camera just love her but she's also capable as a performer. Her shower scene is also the high point of this thriller -- see for yourself!

This is a five (5) stars, thumbs up rating!!!! Cant wait to see a re-make.

This is supposed to be Jaclyn Smith's first outing from her tv series "Charlie's Angels" to the big screen. But the movie wasn't widely released in the cinema internationally and it premiered on cable tv. However, this is one of the most satisfying thriller you'll ever see.

Smith and co-star James Franciscus have a very strong chemistry on the screen. Proven, in fact, that they also starred in another tvmovie about Jacqueline Kennedy, year after this movie was released.

Veteran actor Robert Mitchum is in his usual ways. The first half of this film is a bit slow but the last half hour is a nail biter. You can't get past of Jaclyn Smith's beautiful face but this is also one of her best.

The cover of this U.K. dvd version mispelled Jaclyn's name with "k."

This movie was supposed to be Jaclyn Smith's first major feature film in the '80s. But due to some problems, it was largely unreleased in theaters and ended first on television. Good for us movie buff because this film is probably one of the best that I've seen and one of the most satisfying "thriller" in years. It doesn't have the same style of the current slasher/screamer films of late but it offers lot better. The last half hour is a nail biter especially the shower scene. Robert Mitchum's performance is top notch and actress Jaclyn Smith is terrific. I think this is one of her best performances. Her on-screen chemistry with actor James Franciscus is just great!

I SAW THIS MOVIE SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT GOT BETTER, I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE VIDEO, BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IF YOU WANT ONE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL DO IT. MITCHUM IS SMOOTH & SMITH WELL, I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OR HER BEST YET. THE TWO ARE COMPLETE OPPOSITES THAT COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER TO THE MAX.IT'S DEFINITELY ONE I WANT IN MY COLLECTION.

I have been searching for a long time for this movie. What a shame that it has been discontinued, because it is one of the best thrillers ever produced. I have never met anyone who has seen it which is so unfortunate - the acting is superb. Most young people today have never heard of Robert Mitchum. "Scream" in my opinion was a predictable piece of trash and look at the ratings it got - they even wasted more resources and came up with a sequel. Nightkill will leave you on the edge of your chair - I saw it by myself and was attracted to it because I read in the TV guide that Robert Mitchum was starring in it. I think it was one of his finest performances.

This movie I knew would be great , just reading about it in a magazine on up and coming movies made for televison , I knew it was going to be good when I saw it and to see a all star cast with all the twists , who is doing what to whom , I loved it , they dont make movies like this anymore .

I actually sat through this with my Mom back in 1981 and we were both so engrossed .

I happy to own this tape .

Never forgot it and wish Smith would make more movies again .

Jaclyn Smith of "Charlie's Angels," stars a wife who's husband is then murdered and Jaclyn finds all kinds of things going on. What she doesn't know is that Robert Mitchum is the killer.
