Please try again later.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2022 Barbara Hershey always looks good.i was surprised the lady got off in the end .good story and barb great butt Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2022 I loved that I was able to find this older hard to find lifetime movie. They never show it on TV anymore so now I can watch it whenever I want. Thanks!! Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2020 This movie is REALLY good! Barbara Hershey and Lee Garlington are 2 super actresses and do such a great job in the roles they portray in this film. What makes this movie so disturbing is that the events unfold so normal, average and realistic, but then, all of a sudden, it gets so out of control. Something that has to be seen to be believed and, as if that isn’t enough, apparently it’s based on a true story! Great movie and a must-see! Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2021 Based on true events and the acting was understated but credible for the most part. No wonder it earned awards. Wished the film gave more background and especially aftermath details. It was so engaging, I researched a bit after to learn more. The tragedy reached far beyond what is shown. ... would explain but don’t want to spoil the movie. Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 9, 2019 I had read about this case in a older true crime book that was written not long after the crime occurred. There are some very unusual aspects to the people involved, especially the murderer and I wondered if the movie could do justice to the story. The acting and the pacing, the story itself, are all very well done and the amazing twists and revelations from the true story and that were in the book, were all included in this film. I was worried they might not be able to portray it properly but I was very satisfied with this dramatization. Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2020 Good movie but crazy people good buy Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2021 Quality of the copy is great Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 29, 2015 Candy having an affair and cheating on her husband.
