I first watched this movie when I was just a teen and was riveted to the TV screen. I was amazed at the performance of the characters and the intensity of the plot. If it was to be redone today there would be no doubt superb special effects to make it seem realistic. Shirley MacLaine is quite the actress no matter what part she is playing on the big screen and even now I have high respect for her ability to perform. I like the children's roles as well they probably have never acted in their life or had little parts in commercial's or extras on other movies. I have not been able to find this movie available at video stores that deal in older movies. I live in Canada and would like to see if I can buy this movie due to the fact that I am somewhat possessed in wanting to own it.

I first watched this movie on Super channel in 1986 and was glued to the TV. I had not seen it since that time but was in a video store and noticed it and right away rented it. I don't think that I will get tired of it because it feels so real like this is what it would be like if it happened. I have watched a lot of other shows with similar themes but I know that this was a movie to be remembered. I have always liked Lucas Haas and he always plays into the part so perfect. Well this movie has got all the classical signs of an original reality check. I hope most people like it as much as I have.
