Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKristy Swanson starred in the original Flowers in The Attic movie in 1987. Shortly after filming this, Emily Tennant began filming If There Be Thorns, the second sequel to Lifetime's Flowers in The Attic remake.
- GoofsThe detective trying to find the girl calls the mom's cellphone in order to locate her. That is not necessary, as any IT person such as the police tech would know. When a cellphone is on, it is constantly looking for a tower and as such if the phone number is known it can be located via triangulation. Accordingly, the detective would have been able to locate the mom in a matter of hours without ever calling her phone.
Featured review
This story line was so predictable and it possibly could have been entertaining to watch if it wasn't for that over bearing music score that tried to build suspense every single moment. Why don't these made for TV producers just rely on the actors delivering the suspense rather than a cheap music score that I have heard a thousand times before?
Kristy Swanson plays a bit of a dipstick mom who asks the dumbest question to the detectives, "If my daughter agrees to testify in open court and points this murderer out won't that put my daughters life in danger?" Duhhhh!!!!!!
So the hit man murderer is released on bail and he immediately goes on the hunt to first scare the teenage witness and her mom, and she persists in identifying him when the court date arrives the hitman seeks to find the mom and daughter and kill them both. Of course there is a dirty cop helping the hit man which provides the audience a direct but unrealistic mechanism to mistrust all cops and sympathize with the mom and her witness daughter.
While still on the run from the mobs hitman mom and daughter hide out at a horse farm run by a good looking young widower and sparks eventually fly from both guns and lonely hearts.
This is nothing special but I can't call it a complete waste of time so I will give it a 5 out of 10 IMDB rating.
