Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

TheBlueHairedLawyer I was searching youtube for made-for-TV mysteries one night and came across this little 1970's ABC mystery.It begins innocently; a little girl gets dropped off at her house and wanders inside... and suddenly all hell breaks loose when the girl discovers a ton of blood all over the kitchen. She goes to the neighbors and a police investigation begins to find the girl's mom... but Marian was not the most faithful of wives.Not only was the mystery intriguing but the acting was excellent, especially for a TV movie. I loved the title credits' originality and the soundtrack. Check this underrated little movie out with All the Kind Strangers (1974) and The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), you won't be disappointed.

MartianOctocretr5 When I think of lost treasure movies by genre, this one certainly makes the claim as the best "Who-dun-it?" police drama mystery I've seen.It hits the mark on so many levels: first, an all star banner cast of great actors who are just fun to see all working together on this unique TV mystery. Clever scripting and a brilliant red herring that make for a puzzle that gradually unfolds until that one big key element is finally revealed.As evidence witness statements are gathered, the story takes form of a middle aged suburbia housewife's (Janet Leigh) numerous trysts while her traveling salesman is away. At the opening, her daughter (trivia alert- -that's Eve "Jan Brady" Plumb) arrives home and finds a blood soaked mess in the kitchen, and her mother missing. Soon, Lt. Dan August (Christopher George), a shrewd and dedicated detective tries to sort through all the evidence and the gossip about the missing woman, and determine what really happened in that house. There are several fine sub-plots about police work in general, and wonderful characterizations all around from the cast.A TV movie from the 70's made by the Quinn-Martin people, who produced several crime dram TV shows at that time. Definitely worth finding this one for a good watch.

staticeat This movie haunted me for years. I was 8 or 9 years old when I first saw it and it scared the hell out of me. Back then I was past the point of being afraid of "monsters" and such, but the opening scene in which a really young Eve Plumb( yes, "Jan" on The Brady Bunch) comes home from school, enters the empty house calling out for her mother and finds a bloody hand-print on the refrigerator just hit home with me. What would be a child's worst fear?? Losing their parent(s). The rest of the film is a decent enough murder mystery with some fairly big name 70s actors rounding out the cast. Watch for it in reruns on local TV; I have seen it a couple times over the years.

dwieselq I saw this once when I was a kid (around 8)...all I remember is the opening scene, it scared the @#$% out of me!...a house, someone coming home, and blood everywhere...very chilling. Plus, I lived on Greenville Road so the fear "hit home" even more.That 70's made-for-TV-movies genre is greatly under-appreciated and unrecognized. Other movies that I remember about the same time that were really creepy (you might too):"When Michael Calls" (Ben Gazzara, Elizabeth Ashley, Micheal Douglas)"The Screaming Woman" (Olivia DeHavilland)"Picture Mommy Dead" (Zsa Zsa Gabor)"How Awful About Allen" (Anthony Perkins)"Two On a Guillotine" (Connie Stevens)"The Victim" (Elizabeth Montgomery)
