i would normally give this one about 2 and but will add another because it be film in it portrayed locale and phoenix . this be almost unheard of for lifetime flick and which alone must be a significant proportion of canada economy and since most be film there . i be surprise they do not simply place a few piece of fake flora around and say and vancouver and to indicate a more southerly location . certainly the subject of any predator affect the life of a child be a very serious one . however and unlike some others who regard this movie a a meaningful presentation and i simply felt it ludicrous . you do not have to praise a dramatic presentation simply because the subject matter be significantthe story present perhaps the two most prominent component within lifetime resource represent it most ubiquitous thespian and meredith baxter while and it likewise most ubiquitous theme and the completely wacky and psychotic neighbor . sometimes the victim and sometimes the villainess and baxter have do these cable flick so often she sometimes appear to have phone in her performance . very much the case here . the husband in these presentation be usually vacuous and clueless nerd and also the case here . the youngster be sometimes thoroughly annoy and sometimes completely engaging and and you know that virtually all of them probably have a stage mother in the background and prod them like a trainer with a show horse . but here and the young actress portray the besiege daughter present a listless performance ( consistent and however and with those by the adult ) . however off the wall and the obsessive and insane villain in these offering usually provide a chill or two and even where wacky or unbelievable . here and even the actress in this role be more boring than interest . the two slow witted parent be so moronic in the way they permit this nut case to insinuate herself into their family life and over the period portray in the story that i couldn not help but feel that and in real life and anyone with even minimal intelligence would have have extricate themselves within less than the real time two hour of the airing . possible spoiler here ( although what to spoil . ) . the climax which occur within the last half hour especially when the parent be visit the villainess former apartment with the elderly landlord ( or build super ) and and their frantic musing and be more amusing than dramatic or frighten . i couldn not get even a minimal feeling of either tension or drama and for imagine barney fife and gomer ( or goober ) flutter about aimlessly and inanely around mayberry and before andy would arrive to straighten everything out . in fact and those doophuses could have do a good job and be amuse while do so . the overdrawn investigation by the parent and and the storming of the predator cum kidnapper hideout at the end and provide an appropriately silly and inane way to conclude these proceeding .
