7/10
A solid film with an uplifting message
20 February 1999
This movie develops three themes that later come together in the climax of the movie. The first is that of the troubled pregnancy of Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) and their seemingly unrelated decision to rent a room to a boarder. Ms. Moore is the star of the movie and plays her role convincingly. The second theme involves Russell Quinn's fight to save the life of a convicted murder (John Taylor) plus keeping his wife as calm as possible during her pregnancy. The last theme is that of the mysterious boarder, played well by Jurgen Prochnow, who shows up in the oddest places. The movie is capably acted by everyone involved and offers some supernatural thrills without going overboard. The ending is sad and yet uplifting which makes the movie a winner. This is a must for viewers who like to collect small movies that most people have never heard of.
