A Child’s Cry for Help

Great Movie and Great acting all round!! One of my favourites with Pam Dawber and Veronica Hamel A recently widowed doctor moves with her daughter to start at a new hospital. While there a loving mother brings her son in for treatment. The doctor suspects that there is something wrong, and theorizes that the mother is deliberately making her son sick so that she could bring him to the hospital for the attention that it gives her.

When the doctor decides to restrict the mother’s access to her son and is reporting her to child services, the mother in turn decides to sue the doctor and the hospital. And some of the hospital board don’t agree with her diagnosis or think that she’s over-reacting. And even while the mother’s not allowed access to her son, he is still sick, so is the doctor right or wrong?

Stalker: Shadow of Obsession

Another Rare film, i was disappointed though but happy to have it in my collection. It’s about a private eye’s attempts to protect a college professor are thrown into disarray by the murder of the stalker supposedly terrorising her – not least because all the evidence suggests she is the culprit. Psychological thriller.

She Said No

I watched this film for the first time a year ago. I was lucky to acquire this from a good friend of mine who had it! It was an ok movie. A successful career woman is raped by a prominent lawyer. However, when she takes the case to court, it results in a hung jury. When the DA’s office declines to retry the case, the lawyer opts to sue the woman for malicious prosecution and slander leaving her feeling raped again.

Baby Snatcher

Veronica Hamel and Nancy McKeon are truly great actresses and their films never get old, especially Baby Snatcher.

The police mount a frantic search but to the woman’s horror she finds out that it’s herself who is the main suspect.

A Cry for Help: The Tracey Thurman Story

A Cry for Help is another one of my all time favourite Lifetime Movies that is quite rare to find the whole film. Tracy Thurman was married to a man who abused her. But he continues to harass her after she gets a restraining order, and the police do little to help. When he brutally beats her and slashes her throat in front of police, she sues the city and the police department for failing to protect her.
