With a wealthy young girl buried underground, I found it impossible to deal with those scenes because it brought to life real horrors that one can't imagine having to go through. I've seen this on other TV shows, most often on "Days of Our Lives" (several times), and it brings to light how someone could be so cruel to deprive someone of necessary functions that one can't do in a cramped space. David Janssen and Phyllis Thaxter are the parents of the poor girl. Sallie Shockley, and I could imagine the therapy that she would need for months, possibly years after getting through this situation, if she survives it. James Farentino and Skye Aubrey are the wretched couple responsible for this heinous crime, and I can imagine it upsetting viewers when it was first air, causing them to turn it off or change the channel.
If one is strong enough to make it through the film, they will find it an intense drama that becomes a Race against time, which they are told they only have about a week before Shockley would run out of oxygen. Mike Farrell, Joel Fabiani and Richard Anderson co-star, but it's the parents, Jansen and Thaxter (a veteran leading lady of the 40's and 50's unfortunately forgotten outside of classic obscure movie fans), who get the best material. This is certainly not a movie to watch before going to bed because it is definitely a nightmare waiting to happen.
