This is a really good story. I love the suspense. I like the way Clark tells a story, I like the twists and turns. Good action. Thanks for posting these movies. Happy New Year.
She knows someone's out there watching her, tried to run her off the road, yet she and her mother live out in the boonies and have their blinds open and the doors all unlocked. Crazy! I was hoping it would be the boyfriend! He really wasn't important to the plot.
This was better than most of the adaptations of Clarke's books. Still some things were different, Alison Eastwood's character was named Meghan instead of Patricia, and she was a TV journalist instead of a dude ranch worker. Her mother had a restaurant and inn instead of the dude ranch. Her boyfriend Mac had a son in the book. A big part of the book took place in New York City in an urban setting whereas this movie was mostly set out in the country. There was a fairly important character named Victor in the book who worked with Phillip and her dad who she actually suspected of some of the things Phillip did. Her father's name was Edwin instead of Burton, yet oddly enough they kept her half sister Annie's name the same. Her stalker Bernie was not a foreign guy in the book. There were other differences too but don't want to give to much away in case people are on who haven't read it. Sometimes I wonder why they make some of these changes they do that do nothing to the story, sometimes its almost like they change things just for the sake of changing them.
I agree. The books are always so much better! And I also don't see the point in making these movies if they are gonna change characters and scenes around to their liking!
January 24th 2022 Another great MHC story. Brilliant storyline and terrific cast. Thank you for the upload. Watching and appreciative from the Fiji 🇫🇯 Islands. ❤✌
@@sharpedge3355I agree. She's beautiful but a terrible actress. Acting was flat. I think out of all the lead actresses in MHC movies, she's the one that I dislike.
Movie commentary: I hate it when women do stupid things that put them in danger. This mother and daughter don't lock their doors. They don't close window blinds after dark. The daughter rides her horse alone even after she knows someone is after her. They both trust everyone. Most women are not stupid like that.
Hi, I've seen your comments on other places I've commented on. I totally agree with what you are saying... and in other posts, I'm known as, "Think Positive". I hope your holidays are happy and that you and I never have to solve a murder in person.
You’d be surprised how many women are “stupid like that.” It’s not really stupidity, it’s conditioning. Women if they are fortunate grow up with protective fathers even in working class families, especially the immigrant or highly religious families, and they never really get to develop much in the ways that you may describe as self protective. If they grow up in solid middle class families or upper class families they are protected by environment, association and resources and they aren’t learning much about threat either. Women without these protections and resources are not nearly as trusting ( you call it stupid!) because we have to be on our guard, second chances can be elusive! We learn early to fend for ourselves, to have more situational awareness, to be less trusting, to spot threat, to fight and to run. You know the masculine traits. Of course, we can still fall for the wrong guy and end up in homicidal situations with men and their complicit women. Facts: men stalk and kill women. Homicide or femicide as it were is still one of the leading causes of death for all women, globally. MHC as an author - pshaw - this is her meat and potatoes. Her entire oeuvre is the damsel in distress. The better question might be why do men stalk, assault and murder women in such great number⁉️ And why are these narratives so popular. Women aren’t stupid;,women and girls are vulnerable to seduction and attack by men and boys, and increasingly by girl gangs mimicking men. Notwithstanding we have to revisit our upbringings and perhaps weaponize our lives against aggressive, patriarchal, and misogynist world views however they may come at us. Not very romantic and quite Disturbing isn’t it....
@@jeanettesdaughter Hello. Your reasoning is right. I can see how my saying vulnerable women are stupid is wrong and uncalled for. I wish all support persons for children of all sexes would teach their children as they grow to be aware, what to do and not do, to be safe, etc. I appreciate the reasonable way you made your points and that you did not attack me. I would edit my other comments to be more sensitive, but I think our conversation will be a good teaching point for others. We all can do better at listening and speaking. Thank you for standing up for what is right. Regards.
I look like my daughter's older sister. I always have and it seems I always will. She was born four weeks before my 29th birthday. People began commenting on it when she was in elementary school.
I've noticed in many lifetime movies the characters had big houses and the trademark [ permit me to use this word] was.... they don't lock doors & windows. Were they forgetful, careless? Attention pls the scriptwriters.
The mother wasn't with anyone, and the detective, (who saved her daughter's life), wasn't with anyone either. People are beginning to wonder why they didn't end up together at the end of this movie.
Unusual to hear a mother refer to her husband as BURT while talking to her daughter. Normally the mom would say, YOUR FATHER. And this is just beginning of the movie.
I love Mary Higgins Clark's books compared to those of Danielle Steele which most of her books have holes in the story and at times don't make sense. Sorry for this those that love Danielle Steele but that's how I get irritated over her stories.
Another great Mary Higgins Clark movie the killer is not tragic but greedy and evil and there a two killers in this movie Benny was an obsessed homicidal lonely man but the real villain and killer was just plain villain pure bad and evil.
This is the fourth newer MHC film adaptation I happened to watch and the fourth time, a German actor proves to be the/a murderer (Richy Müller, Gideon Burkhardt, Philip Brennikmayer, Tobias Moretti). Is this a coincidence or should I go on whatching the MHC movies left and figuring out the murderer simply by reading the cast list in the beginning?😬
iris quinn was born feb 1954 and alison eastwood was born may 1972 so saying they look same age is good for quinn but not good for eastwood quinn was 50 yrs old in this movie (2004) and eastwood was 32.
I'm I'm sensing a theme here I've watched two of this authors movies and they both censored around censored around fertility clinics I'm interested to see if there's a theme with her books this must have been a popular theme around this time too because a lot of family Daniel steals books are centered around the same topic ☺️
Facing Bobby from the front I don’t recognize him. However, from his left silhouette, I’d recognize that beak anywhere.😅I’ve watched his acting in quite a few movies and he frequently plays a bad man and he’s pretty creepy. I think that he’s a very
Movie was interesting,quite an intricate plot.Then again people living out in the wilderness have no security and are stupid enough to leave all windows and doors open.Could at least get some dogs to guard the ranch.I just knew that the fathers partner was the killer.Anyway there was enough mystery throughout to hold my interest.❤
Wondering the same thing ??? Have they never heard the saying "The Night Has Eyes" 👀 Feel creepy just thinking about that. And back doors with glass 😱 that's a No No. All doors should have Iron Gates attached at night.
I would like to know in every film I noticed that the doors in every house or residence everyone can easily go inside the house whenever they want but why is this system? In Arab Countries there is no way for a thief or rapist or any other persons do whatever they want because there's huge punishment that no one could ever imagine, so in European Countries or USA why people always maintain their own mistakes not to lock their doors and easily one could open and enter and doing their own work, why is these types of mistakes?
The beautiful time in my life was spent in an Arab country, Oman, and I never saw a key, locked a door or felt under any threat whatsoever, Islam is so beautiful and simple and straightforward that living there was easy and wonderful, not a care in the world and at that time, due to equal justice, the crime rate was zero. I loved every minute of it and if I could return at any time, I would!!!
My goodness... I read some of these comments and totally disagree... TERRIBLE acting... Best actress was the woman playing Patricia's Mom... But even that wasn't great....
Each time I watch these flix, I get new insights and experiences. Keep up the good work Ms Clark.
I have read most of her books 📚. Great writer!
is cool now it's winter ❄️ now
This is a really good story. I love the suspense. I like the way Clark tells a story, I like the twists and turns. Good action. Thanks for posting these movies. Happy New Year.
Tangled web! Good one! Great mystery. Creepy at times. Mary Higgins Clark always delivers. Thanks so much!😊
Whoever produced and directed this movie did a great job and very impressed with the acting.
I have to agree the movie and the actors are very good and also as good as her writing and her books. 😀💞
Me too 😂
I am looking for nice movies
She knows someone's out there watching her, tried to run her off the road, yet she and her mother live out in the boonies and have their blinds open and the doors all unlocked. Crazy! I was hoping it would be the boyfriend! He really wasn't important to the plot.
Why would these people always leave their doors and blinds open ….? I know, I know, it’s just a movie!
Lol.....

Based on the novel. Hollywood and made even be saving a few shamoleans - don't have to pay Mrs.Clark anything in royalties or any other such thing.
I agree. The books are always so much better! And I also don't see the point in making these movies if they are gonna change characters and scenes around to their liking!
I never understand why they change the names of the characters. Why not keep them.
@joshlight6892
Ok ok you read the book! You read ALL the books . Do you have to spoil this for the rest of us?
As per usual, I see Mary Higgins Clark and I am there.

Alison Eastwood, not only beautiful but has the coolest Dad EVER!
Which one is Eastwood
@@rebeccaduncan6 The star of the movie/The twins her name is Alison Eastwood
Soooo beautiful, if only she could act!

Flat comes to mind
She looked so disinterested and she lacks fire@@kitty_s23456
Gosh - Allison Eastwood looks like Cheryl Ladd when she was younger. The similarity is outstanding. They are both gorgeous.
iiiiie 💦
I think she looks like Shelley Hack.
They are both blonde, they don't look alike.
She looks like Allison Eastwood.
Great movie and MHC story. Thank you for the upload.
Hey tara :)
@@gerodaugustine3580 I'll ñuijji it
Hay!!!(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
This is the first time I've seen Alison Eastwood acting! Good rendition of the book💙
Check out Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Great story, well acted, including Alison Eastwood.
Her voice sounds like Seibel Shepard's voice.
She ran the gamut of emotions from A to B. I thought she was terrible. Flat affect.
DITTO! @@memom2227
Loved this! Has 2 story lines going. The stalker guy totally overdid it with the acting! Made me giggle!
Yeah. What the heck?
Creepy LePew! When he rub that saddle, I just cracked up. Dude was so extra. 🤣🤣🤣
Great acting, excellent movie. Thank you.👍👏👏

Women are taught from birth onwards to have blind faith, to be good and trust in goodness. Little girls are not made aware of how cruel humanity is
Excellent movie. Suspense and thrill was there till the end. I liked it
ilove marys novels turned into movies,makes me stay to my seat for hours
The actress looks very young for a mother of an adult daughter...looks like they are of d same age..😮
I look like my daughter's older sister. I always have and it seems I always will. She was born four weeks before my 29th birthday. People began commenting on it when she was in elementary school.
Reason women out in the middle of nowhere need a few dogs.
And some guns also wouldn't hurt
Always. Dogs, 2A & an axe & crossbow fetish..
We need marchal art's training and it wouldn't hurt to have dogs German shepherds and a neighbor who is a exmarine, exnavy Seal or exarmy ranger.
Gun as well lol
2 or 3 havy gaurdeď persons wilĺ help .but no way .i would go allone 🙃🙃🙃
It was a great movie and thanks for sharing 👌👍👍👍
Good film full of twists & turns, watch ur back now
The killing of Annie was a terribly tragic & disappointing plot. Otherwise, as usual a superb movie. Thank you for sharing.
The actresses who played Annie’s mom was a great actress. Especially, when Patricia told her that Annie was dead. 😊😊😊😊
that is Margo Kidder-she was Lois in Superman I think.
@@sandrayork8078 I thought that was Brenda Vacarro
She's a very famous acctress!!! Been in tons of stuff!!
Oh, heck , yes, Margo Kidder!!!
And, Margo was not even in the crefits...I couldn't come up with her name; thanks. Now I can get to sleep😴...
A very strange movie I must say, but very interesting to watch.
One of my fave author.. i read a lot of books from her..
Yeah..me too
I stayed away from them hearing about some of the horror in her books from others.
I've noticed in many lifetime movies the characters had big houses and the trademark [ permit me to use this word] was.... they don't lock doors & windows. Were they forgetful, careless? Attention pls the scriptwriters.
WOWZA!!! ANOTHER WINNER!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The actresses playing the mother and the daughter look like they are the same age.
It's not unusual in real life that mothers and their daughters appear to be in the same age category.
Good movie. Thank's for the share.
Great movie, Allison Eastwood is a great actress!!
the movie was ok, but one thing missing,
😎🎥🎬🎭
Allison was not in the credits & neither was Margo Kidder, Annie's mother...hmmm
Thanks for the upload.Good movie
Great 👌 movie 🎥🍿 🎥
Great movie, keeps you guessing to the end.
Thanks for sharing.
I agree, I think it's an excellent 🎥 movie.
that creepy man boils my blood
Awesome movie...thank you for the upload
I love that cosy lounge and fireplace
At times we think we know .some people but they only show us what they think we should know.
This is true. People can be complex and have many layers to them. We don't always know why someone does something. Happy New Year to all.
Dont trust ANYBODY
Nice movie,,,enjoyed
Agreed!
Great movie 🍿
1:17 even I noticed the pickup
Good movie thanks

This is an odd thing to say.

I liked this movie. Mary Higgins Clark always seem do be well done. Margot Kidder died 14 years after this was made.
Thanks for this Intel. Happy New Year.
I couldn't remember what book it was but now I know. A book may me wonder how many people disappeared after 9-11.
Good movie
Is that staiker"s nose real? I mean it looks a little strange on his face..........!
And I thought Mac was in on it all... geez...
Great plot.
The security guard was just some exyra drama!
Kept me on the edge, good movie

What is the significance of the character of Bernie in the story? 🤔
Could the movie have been made or the novel written without him, think about it!
Halfway through and I think I know ' who done it.'
Cool to see Canadian actress Margot Kidder.
tnx for uploading great movie

It's not a theme dear. search out other of her movies. excellent all of them
Most of MHC,s books/movies, has nothing to do with fertility clinics.
Casting bad... the mother looks the same age as the daughter!
they are 18 years and 3 months apart in age age 50 and 32 in 2004 when movie was made
