The least we can say is that director Bill Asher had a very strange career, at least for the big screen movie industry, before he went to TV stuff. He offered us only Bikini, Beach beefcake craps and between that, or besides that, he made two outstanding crime flicks: the unforgettable JOHNNY COOL and this pretty good one, some kind of a poor man's DESPERATE HOURS or Andrew Stone's CRY TERROR and NIGHT HOLDS TERROR. Same kind of atmosphere, more or less juvenile hoodlums invading private good common American home, involving then common American families. Not high scale crime ring, with big boss and their henchmen....it is short, sharp, taut, very well done but unfortunately predictable.
