| User ReviewLaura LAmazing and terrifying! To think this is going on all the time. Mckeon and Midkiff gave " perfectly powerful and punuptiously penetrating performances". Very graphic, so it's not for the squeamish. Seen this one three times and it still gives me the chills. |

| User ReviewTimeen *Oh my god.....this movie was so brutal.....and the fact that it was a true story.....just makes you sick to your stomach....you can always say what you would do if you were is certain situations....but this was just awful and the situation should have been taking care of before what happened happened....this movie is not for the faint of heart..... |
| User ReviewSonya TIt is Astonishing that this really happened...:|Well portrayed by Dale Midkiff & Nancy McKeon!!!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis was sooo well done I wanted to jump into the movie and kick the living shit out of the ignoramuses that let this happen to poor Tracy Thurman. Sorry, I'm better now. Pack some patience, this flick will upset you. |
| User ReviewErin CVery graphic, grisly story of a woman who was subjected to domestic abuse by her husband, abuse that could (and should) have been prevented. Hard-hitting and memorable. |
