i can not believe the high mark people have give this film on this site . the writing be incredibly bad with people come in at just the right time and reveal exactly what the heroine be do to try to escape . ( don not you just hate it when that happen . ) . and the acting be so very and very bad that you may get a splinter in your eye from all the scenery be chew . a nut be hold her hostage and child be outside the open screen and so she whimper for help instead of scream when only a moment ago she be brave enough to be smash window to yell to these same child . she finally free and alone in the house . her chance to go for help and so what do she do . wander around the house and lie down . she in the basement and lock away . so what do she do . take a little nap . come on . most of the movie be the nut wander away and find her sit there snooze when he wake her up . four time . what . if the writer be too bore to actually write a real plot why should we be pay attention . i think the key here be that it be originally a play for the radio and so they fill in with the heroine just sit around rather than pretend to be screen writer and actually write any action . and the end be horrendous . the whole movie be completely implausible and horribly write and almost comically act . beware this movie at all cost .
