i find this movie to be suspenseful almost from the get go . when miss stanwyck start her narration it only a few minute until you realize that trouble be come . the deserted area and the lock on the desert gas station door and everything set you up to wait for it . here it come . at first you think it will be about the little boy and but all too soon you start hold your breath watch the tide come in . i find this movie to be really stressful and even though i have watch it before and be prepare for the denouement . now a movie that can keep you in suspense even when you have see it before deserve some sort of special rating and maybe a white knuckle award .
