A thriller with no thrills? There is absolutely no tension in this movie. There are terror situations, like the greenhouse, but all suspense gets sucked out of it. The scenes where we are supposed to see De Mornay as coldly manipulative are actually manipulative themselves. Someone is trying to tell us that the people around her are so stupid that they can't see what she is doing. I didn't buy it. I like Rebecca De Mornay as an actress, but she has chosen some turkey movies.
