NightScream

Young woman (Candace Cameron, Kirk's sister) in a trance drives to a small town where a girl who looks exactly like her was murdered one year ago claiming to be her. She eventually comes out of the trance and returns to her normal self. The murdered girl's parents offer her shelter, but she then begins to have flashbacks to the murder and discovers someone else other then the murdered girl's boyfriend may have been the killer. Made for television movie offers no surprises or suspense. Candace Cameron makes for a weak leading lady and the film features your usual red herrings. Totally predictable and a total washout.

Not Rated; Adult Themes.

Ok, so this made for television movie wasn't too scary. Then again are most made for television movies scary? No. Even though it wasn't very scary it wasn't a very bad movie. I didn't know who the killers were until the end of the movie. I thought it was corny though how every time she went into a trance she would see the murdered girl and see what happened when she was alive. How predictable is that? I do think Candace Cameron is a very good actress though. I grew up watching Full House. In reality I give this movie a 3 stars out of 5.

This was a film I first started to view on TV in 1997 and was unable to see the final conclusion and I discovered it on a DVD. This film starts out with Candace Cameron Bure,(Drew Summers) falling asleep in her car and then winding up in a small town in Oregon. Drew walks into this small town and is identified as a young girl who was murdered a year ago and there is a ceremonial going on for Drew's memory by her father the mayor of this town. This is a spiritual haunting tale about justice being resolved by the past and evil deeds uncovered for those responsible for this young girls horrible death. Denis Arndt, (Roy Ordwell Sr.,) "Sniper",'04, is the father of the murdered girl (Laura) and Teri Garr,(Mrs. Julie Ordwell),"Kill The Man",'99 plays the mother of Laura. This story has many twists and turns and many ghost flashbacks showing foggy scenes with dark images from this dead girls past.

This is a very confusing film. Even for afternoon TV it rates poorly.

The story revolves around a girl turning up at a small town and looking remarkably similar to a girl who was murdered the previous year .

The problem for me seems that although the two girls are played by the same actress, the young men in it look remarkably similar too. Which left me feeling like I wasn't sure who was whom.

The actress playing the dead girl's mum is decidedly wooden especially when hearing something that had happened to her daughter that would devastate most mothers.

All in all not one to be re-watched . not even creepy although it was billed as a chiller .Its a chiller decidedly Luke warm.

While the movie managed to keep my attention for the most part, it still had some big problems. The story had the potential to be decent, except that it got horribly messed up by the weak acting. Even the stars were dragged down by this sloppy dialogue. The highlight of it all- guy goes up to the sheriff, and says "Nice day.... too bad your father isn't alive to see it."
