Cries in the Dark

Eva LaRue played the part of Carrie perfectly. I loved seeing her on All My Children and now she is in a movie that taught me how people really act in this world. The scene in the movie that I liked was at the end when she was asking Rosa if she knew who she was. I want to be a police officer when I get older because I want to protect people from harm. Eva you taught me that family is the most important thing in life and how to live your life to the fullest. You are a hero in my eyes. You are an excellent actor and you have the talent to go very far. You are so cool and you are always going to be a role model to me. When I get older I hope to be just like you when I get older. Eva you are the best!

I could not stop watching this movie, although I've seen it at least twice since 2006. It was very believable and unpredictable at the same time. Definitely one of the most entertaining lifetime movies- with great acting from everyone. I for one was glad that they cut down on the "blatant gore" factor, something which is very unnecessary for those that enjoy good acting/entertainment. I remember Eva LaRue from " All My Children". She was a was a standout even then. I would definitely recommend this movie for a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon with friends or family. I'm not sure what others- who've rated this movie 2-3 stars- are looking for in a good made for TV movie. This one has it!!

The reviews on this movie were both high and low and I had hoped for better than I got. Eva LaRue acted very well and gets a high grade and the other performers were ok but not great. The screen play had some faulty elements which is typical of made for TV movies. Overall I would say it's worth watching to see the lead actress perform so well but be prepared to let a lot of details slide by your critical eye. As far as the plot goes, all I can say is it's a shame that the world has people in it who pursue such sick and evil plans and that these types of crimes can occur. So sad.

The story was based on the very realistic happenings that occur in this sick world of ours today. The problem with the movie is that the actions of the police, the heroine and the parent the movie were so far fetched and unrealistic that it made the movie not worth watching. Over the years, I come to expect Lifetime movies to be a tad on the corny side. But they are generally very clean and devoid of gratuitous sex and violence so I always watch them. To me that is a worthwhile swap. This movie was over the top and very predictable. The movie did have a bright spot and that was Eva. Not her role mind you, but just watching her was wonderful.

I saw the write up about this movie in the TV guide, so I thought I would tape it and watch it another day since it was on showcase at 7 (a little early for me to sit and watch a movie). As I was setting up my VCR, I started watching it and then couldn't stop! LOL. I thought I would just watch to the first commercial to see if it was any good, but I ended up watching the entire movie. It is suspenseful and the acting was great! I liked Eva La Rue. She was very believable. I don't want to ruin it for people but, towards the end, what a great twist with the letter! Great idea. I liked that it wasn't the run of the mill murder mystery too...a fresh idea. I think anyone who likes a good mystery will LOVE this movie. I highly recommend it.
