Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

liberalblossom15 When an arsonist strikes the Calhoun household, a single mother and her baby are killed while the only surviving family member, ten year old Billie, is accused of committing the crime. Eight years later, she is attending a hearing for early release only to have it denied to her. She pleads with her guard to set her free because the guard knows she is innocent. Her guard makes it look like Billie simply escaped, and Billie hides out in an abandoned apartment. From there she moves on in her quest to prove her innocence. Her only problem is that everywhere she goes - people wind up dead. She finds sympathy in an attractive young detective who aids her in her quest and allows her to stay with him. Can he save her in the end when she encounters the real killer?I might be a little biased because I saw this as a ten year old girl, but I really like this film. It's not meant to be a "thinker", it's just meant to entertain - and in that respect it has my vote. Yes, there are plot holes...Why was she in a women's prison? How did she know how to drive when she grew up in prison? How come Father Paul looked young enough to be her brother?Who cares? These are minor details that can't ruin the film for me. Everything that needed to be explained was explained. All the viewer really wants to know is the identity of the killer. I still find it somewhat suspenseful and fun. It's not meant to be a psychological film, just a fun way to kill time on a rainy Saturday afternoon. In that sense, it does it's job well.

amy-banfield i loved the movie i have been trying to buy it for a long time but cant seem to find one so if anyone has one they would like to sell i would love to buy it i loved the part where she escaped and was trying to find out who killed her mother and sister and set her up and where she got captured by the cop but she turned it on him that when he decided to help her find what happened to her family it was a very sad movie i love all the movies Kellie martin is in but my all time favorite is her hidden truth i also love the guy who plays the cop that helps her i really thought that the man her mother was having the affair with killed them not the son i felt sorry for the mother of the son for what he did

john-felix I'm not sure how to rate this -- on the one hand, it has some of the dumbest writing and one of the most obvious "mysteries" I have seen (I knew who the killer was before he was even introduced!) On the other hand, this is almost like a complete study of the formulas for Lifetime Movies -- if it only had a rape and some drug abuse worked in, it would have had everything.The story is that Billie Calhoun, at age 10, was framed for the murder of her single mother and baby sister, and has spent the last 8 years in juvie. She is set to be released early for good behavior, but a cackling, gleefully evil psychiatrist who obviously has some kind of ulterior motive (which is only barely explained later) advises that Billie be kept longer. The prison guards all just *know* Billie is innocent, and they arrange to let her escape so she can discover the truth of what happened. Billie's legal guardian is a local priest (who obviously is played by a man who had auditioned for the handsome-young-cop-role, since the fellow would have had to have been around 13 years old when Billie was 10) and he knows the truth about who killed Billie's mother and sister, but he never mentioned it to her before this time, and when he intends to tell her, he is suddenly murdered. Billie is the one to discover the body and of course she proceeds to touch everything in sight with her bare hands including the murder weapon before she flees, making it seem as if she had been the killer. Soon the cops are hot on her tail, but Billie manages to find a sympathetic handsome-young-cop and he starts up a completely inappropriate romantic relationship with her that is so creepy I started wondering if it should have been counted as a rape. (The girl is completely at his mercy -- she's an escaped convict that he is hiding in his house, and he's a cop. What's she going to do, reject his advances?) Without giving away too much of the ending, Billie and the Cop set out to find the EVIL HEARTLESS MEN who caused all this. Oh, and somehow Billie knows how to drive even though she's spent all her life in juvie.Dumb writing, but if you're like me and don't exactly watch Lifetime Movies because you expect them to be good, then this is definitely one to see!

Avram Jarek Fawcett Yes, a ten year old going to jail for murder is unreal, but that's the only real flaw in this movie. It still carries suspense and intriuge the whole way. None of the actors are bad, and it is executed very well. You've got a shadowy killer (used in slashers often) and some good murder scenes thrown in. The detective that helps the girls adds in a romantic connection that never really gets played out (course, being in jail for a decade, she's new to mating). Lifetime did a good job with this, though I doubt any of their other films are as good as this. Ah well, look for this one one TV (it was one a few months ago).not rated, but very adult themed with mild language and violence
