Ben Gazzara, Michael Douglas in the same movie. What more do you need to know!?

This is a movie about Helen (Elizabeth Ashley), a single mother going through a difficult divorce. She lives on a small new england farm with her daughter and grandparent. Her generally peaceful life becomes filled with terror, when some one claiming to be her dead son Michael who had run away fifteen years ago and was believed to be killed in a blizzard.

This movie starts out a little slow, until the phone calls start. It then builds into a frantic conclusion with Michael Douglas giving an all-star performance as a psychiatrist who should be a patient.

I give this movie a 6.5 out of 10. Yes I have seen better, but for goodness sake I have seen a lot worse.
