hey this movie was A-OK
29 August 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Great little movie. I found the acting and story realistic. The lead girl was excellent--so natural, and such a nice-girl-type. She inspires feelings of pity because of her crippled leg (which gets better during the course of the film, so she is able to get her brace taken off and use a cane instead). And her strict father is giving her a hard time about her boyfriend. You feel sorry for this poor girl. And later in the movie she is being chased around on her bad leg by the maniac. (The doctor told her to take it easy on the leg when he removed the brace, so I was worried about that). I will add that quite some time elapsed in the movie before I even noticed her leg brace. (Or was that when it was first revealed--when she dives out of the way of the black van?) The lead girl's best friend did a nice acting performance too.

I like the Oregon setting, and the Oregon-type clothing they were wearing.Liked the harbor and the sawmill and the dark, not-very- decorated wood-paneled house where the girl and her father and mother live. I liked the schoolroom scenes, not very bright and cheery, a bit on the depressing side.

I felt sorry for the father, even though he was being a mean bastard.

I was cheering for the heroine--she does an admirable job of getting away from and battling the killer maniac, especially considering her bad leg.

The very end--I didn't expect it or want it that way, but....
