It was very hard to sit through this insipid made for TV movie. And to watch such bad performances by notably the three leads [Courtney Thorne-Smith, not really that beautiful, Kyle Secor, a dumb farmboy who hasn't a clue, and Tracey Gold, another out of space character]. It is hard to believe that the innocent couldn't see through the oh so obvious villany of Smith with her basic black ensemble and butch attitude that something evil this way lurks. I mean, get real, how dumb can you be? For example, Kyle, knowing Smith's demonic personality and having just wrestled with her and a huge kitchen knife, to turn his back on her and walk away, was about the stupidist move ever. It's these kind of obvious moments that drove this viewer crazy. Another moment in the barn when the butch Smith, again in basic black, threatens Gold with a pitchfork, and Gold stands there oblivious of the threats screaming in her face. Please! The ending failed to give this viewer any satisfaction in the get even with Smith for her deeds. It just fades away leaving her screaming in the trailer. Come on. Don't we deserve something better than that? I can see that possibly Secor has some acting ability, but certainly, the rest need to go back to the drawing board. Bad performances, really bad script and so-so direction. Oh, yes, the cows did good! They at least hit their marks.
