I usually do not watch this type of movie unless it is based on a
book by a well known author, but I found this story unusual in that I
found excellent character development, good acting, a truly serious
treatment of spousal abuse, and a ton of suspense. I found
myself fearing the abuser, and waiting with baited breath for his
capture. Well done. The children were fine actors, and the abuser
was effectively underacted, and really scary. The grandparents
were very convincing, also fine actors. I recommend this movie if it
comes on TV again. Although this plot is frequently shown in
movies and on TV, this is one of the better and more realistic
treatments I have seen. I am not familiar with the starring actors,
but they look so familiar that you can empathize with them. I hope
these actors receive more attention from central casting. I rated
this movie "7".
