No Place to Hide (1981) Reviews
No Place to Hide: Interesting enough thriller
I went in expecting a horror again, my bad! This early 80's thriller is a passable affair and though it's fairly well written it lacks in too many places to truly be memorable. No Place to Hide tells the story of a girl who repeatedly see's a balaclava and dark glasses wearing man who seems to be stalking her. However is he real? Or is he as everyone around her believes, a figment of her fragile mind? The film actually has a few good ideas and though can be accused of a lot of things it can't be accused of being predictible as I certainly didn't see the finale coming. It suffers badly from many tropes of its time but I can confidently say that this isn't a bad film, it's just a bit uninspired and tedious. The Good: Some good twists Well written The Bad: Quite generic Things I Learnt From This Movie: Jason, Michael, Freddy, Pinhead and even Leprechaun have nothing to fear from our balaclava wearing friend, there will be no sequel here
A Very Watchable Suspense-Fest!
One dreary afternoon a few years ago, I happened to be flipping channels when this movie aired on A&E, and I was glued to it the entire running time. It is quite dated, to be sure, but the thrills come from actual suspense and some subtle hints, which make more graphic TV movies more obvious. Kathleen Beller is exceptional as Amy, the heroine, who is menaced by a stranger in a ski mask. The problem is, no one believes her, and her stepmother Adele (a masterful Mariette Hartley) begins to think that her stepdaughter is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Amy is seeing a psychiatrist, portrayed by Keir Dullea, who thinks her father's tragic death may be the cause of any hallucinations Amy may be having. Twists and turns abound as Amy begins to wonder if she really is losing her mind, or is the stalker flesh and blood real? Gary Graham does an excellent job portraying her mysterious love interest, David. Let's just say that things are not what they seem, and we have an array of possible suspects. A girl can't trust anyone anymore! With her large, beautifully haunted eyes, Beller is perfectly cast as the terrorized young artist/heiress, and she gave an equally excellent performance as a rape victim in the TV movie "Are You In The House Alone?" (1978). Hartley's portrayal is superbly mastered with conflict. Dullea, in one of his many subtly creepy turns, fits the bill, while Graham embodies his elusively seductive character expertly. Don't miss it if it airs on TV again, and a DVD release should be in consideration!
This movie is scary and full of twists!
I saw this movie by mistake on a Saturday morning. Before I knew it, I couldn't stop watching it. Hard to believe this is only a made-for-television movie. It was scarier than many of the horror movies I have seen in theaters. The movie begins when an art student named Amy leaves her university and soon discovers that there is a man wearing a ski-mask on the back of her car. Soon you will find out Amy has seen this man before but no one believes she has. The movie has a simple plot line: Amy is being stalked by a psychopath. But the simple plot has more twists than you can imagine.
Excellent suspense TV movie
I found this movie highly entertaining. It succeeds on many levels: The acting is superb, the suspense tight, and even the camera work is above par. It's a quiet film that is very easy to watch, with twists and turns aplenty. It's unfortunate for us movie aficionados--especially of the thriller genre--that we no longer have access once a week to these gems that appeared on TV and were well watched. This work took me back to a time when watching movies was a true pleasure. The only negative was the convoluted plot that's revealed as we reach the story's conclusion, but that can be easily forgiven as the heart of the plot of the movie more than makes up for it. One of the best TV movies I've seen, and viewers of good suspense movies won't be disappointed. I rate this film a well- deserved 10.
Well-made suspense thriller
Amy, Kathleen Beller,is being stalked by a creepy man in a black ski mask with dark sunglasses.(I found the scene where he follows her around the school halls after class,to be very scary.)She tries to convince everyone around her that he's real,but to no avail.(Mariette Hartley is fabulous as the step-mom.)At her psychiatrist's suggestion, she goes up to the family cabin,only to be further terrorized.The stranger in black causes her to faint and then dumps her in the lake.She comes back from the "dead" to give her nemeses some of their own medicine.The line from her step-mom is really chilling,"I'll tell you why,for the money."Great movie from start to end.I wish they could have made a sequel.
