Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
paulclaassen Not to be confused with James Wan's 2007 'Dead Silence', this is the 1991 TV movie about the consequences of one very wrong decision. Great premise and really good acting. The character development was excellent. It was interesting to see how each one's attitude changed as more evidence about the accident surfaced, and how the authorities got closer and closer to the truth. This is definitely a way underrated film.
helpless_dancer When 3 feisty college girls go to Fort Lauderdale for fun in the sun they become involved in the death of a drifter due to their own stupidity. For months after they try to go on as usual but events go against them until they are forced to make a decision in which they lose either way. A very enjoyable film with a satisfying ending.
Nancy-40 3 girls hit a man on a dark road, they don't know what to do, thier scared because they had been drinking so they hide the body and drive away. The movie shows how each of them deal with what they did and eventually the body is found and one girl who is a new reporter has to report on the story and she begins to slightly give away she knows something, and the 3 begin to get scared and trying to deal. Its a very good portrayal, its got a good but sad ending, they eventually turn on each other and it ends with the truth coming out and the movie shows what they do when people find out and 1 does the right thing but winds up hurting everyone by doing the right thing, its a very good sad movie.
corky-27 This well-acted TV movie really surprised me. I expected a typical "spring-break" pseudo-horror film, but was drawn into a psychological tale of conscience fighting fear. Three young, attractive co-eds are vacationing before college graduation when something horrific happens to them; the mitigating circumstances cause them to make disastrous moral and ethical choices. Mitchum and Estevez (granddaughter of Robert and daughter of Martin Sheen, respectively) are fine but Falk shines as the most conflicted and least culpaple of the protagonists. The minuses: A tv movie is a tv movie is a tv movie- well, you get the picture. Again, all the more to my surprise that this picture acquitted itself nicely, despite the low budget and lack of name stars. The Corkymeter says 3 and a half stars (out of 5).
