This movie is scary and full of twists!, 21 August 1999
Author:
Roddy-15 from Florida
I saw this movie by mistake on a Saturday morning. Before I knew it, I
couldn't stop watching it.
Hard to believe this is only a made-for-television movie. It was scarier
than many of the horror movies I have seen in theaters.
The movie begins when an art student named Amy leaves her university and
soon discovers that there is a man wearing a ski-mask on the back of her
car. Soon you will find out Amy has seen this man before but no one
believes
she has.
The movie has a simple plot line: Amy is being stalked by a psychopath.
But
the simple plot has more twists than you can imagine.

A Very Watchable Suspense-Fest!, 31 July 2005
Author:
Roseofsharon969 (Roseofsharon979@live.com) from Canada
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
One dreary afternoon a few years ago, I happened to be flipping
channels when this movie aired on A&E, and I was glued to it the entire
running time. It is quite dated, to be sure, but the thrills come from
actual suspense and some subtle hints, which make more graphic TV
movies more obvious.
Kathleen Beller is exceptional as Amy, the heroine, who is menaced by a
stranger in a ski mask. The problem is, no one believes her, and her
stepmother Adele (a masterful Mariette Hartley) begins to think that
her stepdaughter is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Amy is seeing
a psychiatrist, portrayed by Keir Dullea, who thinks her father's
tragic death may be the cause of any hallucinations Amy may be having.
Twists and turns abound as Amy begins to wonder if she really is losing
her mind, or is the stalker flesh and blood real? Gary Graham does an
excellent job portraying her mysterious love interest, David. Let's
just say that things are not what they seem, and we have an array of
possible suspects. A girl can't trust anyone anymore! With her large,
beautifully haunted eyes, Beller is perfectly cast as the terrorized
young artist/heiress, and she gave an equally excellent performance as
a rape victim in the TV movie "Are You In The House Alone?" (1978).
Hartley's portrayal is superbly mastered with conflict. Dullea, in one
of his many subtly creepy turns, fits the bill, while Graham embodies
his elusively seductive character expertly.
Don't miss it if it airs on TV again, and a DVD release should be in
consideration!

Well-made suspense thriller, 8 December 2009

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Amy, Kathleen Beller,is being stalked by a creepy man in a black ski mask with dark sunglasses.(I found the scene where he follows her around the school halls after class,to be very scary.)She tries to convince everyone around her that he's real,but to no avail.(Mariette Hartley is fabulous as the step-mom.)At her psychiatrist's suggestion, she goes up to the family cabin,only to be further terrorized.The stranger in black causes her to faint and then dumps her in the lake.She comes back from the "dead" to give her nemeses some of their own medicine.The line from her step-mom is really chilling,"I'll tell you why,for the money."Great movie from start to end.I wish they could have made a sequel.

The things you do in Calculus, 2 February 2007
Author:
amanda-rude from United States
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I saw this movie in my Calc class (don't ask why). We'd only watch a
few seconds at a time before my teacher would turn it off. The whole
class would practically beg "Let's watch Amy! Let's watch Amy!" We were
hooked! It took us over a semester but we finally finished the movie.
Can you say trippy? Wow, it was one of the most twisted thrillers I
have ever seen, and I've seen some pretty freaky stuff.
For those of you who haven't seen this movie, I will try not to spoil
it for you. Basically, Amy is an art student who is plagued by
apparitions of a man dressed in black with dark sunglasses. When Amy
goes to the police for help, the sergeant ignores her and makes
references to previous incidents when she thought someone was following
her and it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Well, she goes to see a friend of her stepmother's, who happens to be a
psychologist. He tells her that this man might be a projection of the
guilt she feels at not being with her father when he died. Hence, Amy
goes up to the cabin where her father died in hopes of ridding herself
of her demons.
However, Amy encounters the stranger again and this time, meets her
end...or does she? Her stepmother, believing that Amy is dead, starts
to experience supernatural events that lead her to think Amy is
haunting her from the grave.
I think I've spoiled enough. You'll have to watch it for yourself if
you want to know what happens next.

Surprisingly good, 21 December 2006
Author:
blanche-2 from United States
Kathleen Beller made a couple of very good suspensers back in the '80s.
This was one - also known as "Soon, Amy, Soon" (at least I think so) -
I saw this when it first aired and just caught part of it again
recently. It's great fun, about a young heiress being stalked by a man
in a ski mask. However, he never seems to be around when she tells
someone about it, so everyone comes to the conclusion that she's
delusional. This includes her stepmother (Mariette Hartley) and her
psychiatrist (Keir Dullea).
There are a couple of neat twists in this, and the viewer will remain
interested throughout thanks to the good script and the fast-paced
direction by John Llewellyn Moxey, an old pro.
"No Place to Hide" is a great flick to see some cold wintry evening -
one often sits down to watch a suspense or mystery movie only to be
disappointed - you won't be this time.

MUST SEE mystery thriller!, 29 September 2001
Author:
LostFan 815K from United States
I saw this movie when it was brand new in 1981. I have not run across it since, but I still remember it. That's what a great movie this is. When I see Kathleen Beller in anything else, I think of this movie. I remember how scary and thrilling it was, with plenty of twists. It's 100% my kind of mystery, and I wish it would be shown on tv again.

Wonderful!, 9 December 1999
Author:
liderc from Austria
This thriller really captures you! The main actress (Kathleen Beller) is very good and gives depth to her character, as does Mariette Hartley, who portrais the breakdown of her character well. The music does one of the main jobs to create the strange athmosphere of mystery one can't escape from.

Excellent Psychological Thriller!, 5 September 2004
Author:
ric-noell from Citrus Heights, CA
Strong performances by both Kathleen Beller and Mariette Hartley made
this such a compelling movie to watch, that you can't break away from
it, even though you pretty much know how it's going to turn out.
Of all Mariette Hartley's movies, I think this was probably her best.
Her portrayal of the conflicted stepmother was so completely credible,
she should have received some sort of recognition for it.
Likewise, Kathleen Beller was utterly convincing as a teen coming to
grips with the loss of her father while feeling that she's losing her
mind. She was good in several other TV movies in the late 70s and early
80s, but this role was a shining character performance.
The fear, anguish and overall pathos of both characters makes this a
must-see for any fan of good thriller fiction.

A killer on the loose?, 3 August 2003
Author:
(mrkevstar@wmconnect.com) from los angeles california
This made for tv gem is just right for watching when you're stuck at home on a rainy night. Just you, the cat (or to be fair dog!) and a big bowl of popcorn. Kathleen Beller stars as a beautiful young artist who tries in vain to convince anyone who will listen that she is being stalked by an unknown madman...or is she? Could it be that the death of dear old dad has caused poor Amy to imagine it all? Is she deliberately engaging those around her in a childish attention-getting prank? A sympathetic mother, a probing doctor and new boyfriend all try to make sense of things before the killer, real or imagined catches up to her. This above average tv flick is well worth the 90 minutes. Mariette Hartley and Gary Graham along with a strong supporting cast help make this 90 minutes well worth it. Sit back and enjoy!

THAT'S NOT FAIR!, 1 July 2002

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
POSSIBLE SPOILER???? Good acting, nice twists and turns, scary, but as a whodunit cheats badly in a certain way I cannot reveal, but will hint at. At one point someone has a certain facial expression which he or she SHOULD NOT HAVE, given further developments. Now go watch it...
