Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Thriller!
Review: After being released from a mental institution, a woman with anger problems tracks down her birth mother and applies for a job on their horse ranch. Nobody in the family has a clue that she is related to them. But when a sister becomes suspicious of her, she does some research and finds out who she really is, but not in time before the woman wrecks havoc on the family and her mother for revenge of her empty, foster-home childhood.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pass this one by unless you're a die-hard fan
Review: It is difficult to summarize this movie without explaining the entire plot in one or two sentences. There is a small twist at the end that differentiates it from others, but this is so minor and comes so late it is difficult to accept or care. Essentially, we are treated to an opening that introduces us to Susan Heller (played by Andrea Roth, who despite being in movies such as this has quiet a following online) who stumbles into the lives of a ranching family when his car "breaks down". She manages to win the trust of the husband (played by Gil Gerard - yes, Buck Rogers himself - who shows us all just how low you can sink) and gets a job. However, the sister does not believe her (as the formula dictates) from the very beginning, and sets out to discover the truth behind Susan.
