The surviving family member, an 11 year-old named Buddy, was plzced in a foster home far from Haven Lakel.

But Lisa's subsequent visions reveal that Buddy has returned with a false identity, an he is bent on killing just as he was 30 years ago.

With clues of Buddy's identity pointing to everyone from her mother's fiance to the Chief of Police, Lisa discovers that the killer is someone she knows and trusts, but who wants her dead because of what she can reveal.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I bought blind earlier this month when I found it for sale really cheap ($3.81). I didn't know anything about the movie before buying it. But a little research online showed me this is a TV movie from the mid '90s. But that is ok... I do enjoy TV movies at times. And I did enjoy this one... but not quite as much as I have most the TV movies in my collection. I just found this one a little slow at times.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete First Season marathon, a review by Achim

Heavy Metal

Good, we're back in action After the previous episode had slowed things down a bit the series gets back on track here (IMHO). John is beginning taking things into his hands, as that's his future anyway, with things going slightly wrong as to build tension and drama (I don't count that as a spoiler)... The way the machines make sure Judgement Day happens (and in their favor) is set up in a bigger scope.
