Candice Bergen plays a nervous thriller writer spending a night alone at a beach house after making her first public appearance in five years. She runs across an intruder, a young man who worships her, followed by a cop who comes to arrest the kid. Someone is out to get her, although it isn't clear who until the end. Her husband is on his way to the house as she tries to sort out who's who and what's what. Bergen is OK as a nervous Nelly, and the kid (played by Bug Hall) is pretty entertaining. Aussie actor Bryan Brown as the cop and Michael Murphy as the husband round out the cast of this telepicture based on an Ira Levin play. A good one for a slow Saturday night. Its release date (2003) ensures much use of cell phones, which is a good thing, because the story otherwise could just as easily be taking place in 1950..

Okay. This movie is a pretty good TV movie considering what else is out there. It's a good story about a woman who has phobias that is living in a beach house for a little bit and and a mysterious wonder that is a stalker type fan , and a so called cop have wondered on to ther property. The cop tells her a deep secret about her and her family. Anyway just like any good crime movie it solved by the end and all ends well. I would give it a 7/10 for great acting performances. Or a A. If you like crime movies you might wanna see this movie

Daisy Lowendahl is the author of a series of books about a female James Bond. When she makes her first public appearance in five years at the premiere of her latest movie about one of her novels, she is threatened by a man in the audience who says someone copied the crime in one of her novels, resulting in the death of someone close to him.Though shaken up by the experience, Daisy still returns alone to her isolated home, only to find no lights and no dog. She calls her husband on the cell phone, but there seems to be terror around every corner, behind every door. Meanwhile, on the news, a man has been beaten up, and his green pickup with lots of bumper stickers has been stolen. Daisy soon finds herself in what seems like a real-life version of one of her novels. What follows is a series of twists and turns that will keep surprising right to the very end. The VERY end.Candice Bergen was great. Her character was quite neurotic, but she also showed a great deal of confidence when the time came to be really scared. Later, she seemed no more frightened than the average person. She also went through a period of seeming borderline insane. Bryan Brown was quite good, too, going through numerous changes as the movie progressed. The music was quite effective in establishing tension, even when it seemed everything was all right. Sometimes the music turned positively otherworldly.This was good. I don't like movies like this to be TOO scary.Possible Spoilers:The lights worked. There was just a bulb loose. But there was a young obsessed fan (Bug Hall) hiding in a closet. A cop with a British accent (Bryan Brown) showed up soon after that, saying that Daisy's husband called him.DEFINITE SPOILERS:Everything seemed all right, and the cop let the boy go. Daisy has observed, though, that he doesn't seem much like a cop. And the boy got in a green pickup with lots of bumper stickers ...SURPRISE ENDING!!!!!!!You didn't think we were going to forget the man from the theater?

I thought this movie was really good especially considering that there were only about 4 main characters in the entire movie. I really wanted to see this movie because of Bug Hall. Who by the way was totally HOT in this movie. I think he's a really good actor and is totally underrated. The guy who played Eddie did a pretty good job too. In all this movie could have been better, as most movies could, but it's not a bad way to spend 2 hours. Very entertaining.
