Awesome Movie

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Husband and father Bradford Dillman has an important briefcase full of documents switched on purpose by a vengeful woman hoping to lure him into her basement trap; that lady is none other than Shelley Winters, once again showing her mettle as a forceful, off-balanced foe. Well-made TV-movie isn't the straightforward thriller it may first appear to be. The missing man's wife, who is 'sensitive' to psychic vibrations, consults with a professional mind-reader to locate her husband (after the police department proves to be indifferent, natch). It all leads to a somewhat strenuous conclusion that piles up both bodies and improbabilities. Winters, however, is a villainess to contend with right up to the end; she pulls off some creepy dramatic scenes without going too far over the top (Kathy Bates might have studied this performance before "Misery"). Interesting work from the entire cast, particularly Carol Rossen, a real wild card as Dillman's spouse (you can't quite get a reading on her, which works for the role). Joseph Stefano adapted his teleplay from a novel by Elizabeth Davis, which doesn't bear close scrutiny. Dominic Frontiere composed the eerie music; talented John Alonzo was the cinematographer.

Revenge is a good little ABC made for TV movie of the week starring Shelley Winters. It begins with a woman (Winters) stealing a businessman's briefcase. The man named Mark Hembric meets up with Amanda Hilton (Winters) at her home in order to retrieve the case, but she has bigger plans for him. She knocks him out and locks him in a cage down in the basement. We soon find out that she's locked him up because she believes he had an affair with her daughter, got her pregnant and then told her to get an abortion. The young girl killed herself shortly after that. Mark's wife Dianne approaches a psychic to find out where her husband has gone. They end up at the house where Mark is being held. Dianne begins to have psychic feelings of her own and believes that Mark is the house somewhere. All of this leads to a surprisingly satisfying ending in which Dianne and the psychic stop Amanda from killing them all. There is a very dark and creepy feeling to the movie. Shelly Winters plays the role of the "crazy woman" brilliantly as always. Revenge is impossible to find in stores or for online purchase, I watched it online - probably the only way to see it. But this is a must see for fans of suspenseful seventies Made-For-TV movies.8/10

I will not add anything to the comments made by the other users. This feature is very efficient and the actors great for a TV product, especially Shelley Winters. She was, one of the most known Actor's Studio's former student. Jud Taylor is a specialized director for TVMs. I spent 75 minutes in a unforgettable way. Good film indeed. And I will only say that it reminds me a french movie, made two years later: Pierre Granier Deferre's LA CAGE - "THE CAGE" - in which a woman - I don't remember her name - gets Lino Ventura trapped in the basement of her house. I don't remember why. But that's not important.I don't think there are so many movies with this very topic.That's all, folks.

I saw this movie a few years ago and thought it was one of the most clever psychic / thriller / psycho movies I'd ever seen. I wish it was available on DVD / VHS or was on TNT. Shelly Winters's daughter commits suicide after a guy breaks her heart. Shelly kidnaps the guy so as to take revenge. The guy's wife finds him via ESP and working with a fake psyhcic who comes to believe that ESP is real. Many other clever twists and a generally very cool movie (the guy Shelly kidnapped isn't the one who broke her daughter's heart, and......well I don't wanna ruin it). Great flick! Should be remade today with Kathy Bates (Dolores Claiborne) in the lead role, Kevin Costner as Frank Tanner - would be a blockbuster!
