Storyline

David and Cassie Osborne have an argument one night. So the next morning after David goes to work, Cassie runs off to her sister's house for a few days with their daughter Samantha. Only they never get there. David starts looking for them, and her sister, Joanne, thinks David had something to do with their disappearance, and calls the police. Actually Samantha and Cassie are with Roy and Georgina Scudder, and their daughter Jill. Roy picked them up after their car broke down. The only problem is, the Scudders, who seem a little odd at first, won't let them leave or call anyone. Written by Brian W Martz <B.Martz@Genie.com>

Trivia

Burt Reynolds apparently kept a photo from his earlier movie Sam Whiskey in which he also starred with Angie Dickinson. The still was of the bedroom scene between himself and Dickinson. Reynolds apparently had the photo blown-up and then hanged it over the top of his bar at his house. A caption was added to the picture. It read: "An actor's life is pure hell?". See more »

A low budget movie. but an exallent one.
25 January 2002 | by (New Zealand) – See all my reviews

This movie is truly one of my favouits. A great thriller with great acting from Burt Reynolds,Angie Dickinson,and mia sara. And very good direction from danny huston. I love this movie so much because I got to see Burt Reynolds as the bad guy. You dont often see that. I hope that he plays that sort of part again. Trust me if you havent seen this movie yet then you better see it soon.
