Nightmare at Bittercreek, a review by addicted2dvd

Nightmare at Bittercreek
In a deadly battle for survival, four women are hunted by a ruthless group of killers they accidentally stumble upon while camping.

When it becomes clear that the deadly trackers have no intention of allowing them to leave the mountain alive, the women quickly realize that they will need to take matters into their own hands.

My Thoughts:
This is a TV Movie from 1988. It is a movie I got free (just paid for shipping) back in 2006. I grabbed it up because I been a fan of Lindsay Wagner for years from when I used to watch the reruns of The Bionic Woman. While I have seen better... this is a movie I enjoyed quite a bit. Sure... you can tell this was made on a TV Movie budget... but I think they did a fine job putting it together. The DVD itself leaves some to be desired. Good (but far from great) transfer and no extras what so ever. From what I can tell... this DVD has been discontinued (OOP) But if you are interested in this one you should be able to get it cheap (amazon marketplace from $2.32 right now).

While I found this one to be a good movie. It was however a little slow for my taste. While the story line itself didn't feel like much I did like the visuals. I am glad I watched it... but it is not one I could watch often.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Tom

2.14 All The Queen's Horses (1996-04-11)
Writer: Paul Haggis (Created By), Paul Gross (Story By), John Krizanc (Story By), Paul Quarrington (Story By), Paul Gross (Screenwriter)
Director: George Bloomfield
Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt. Harding Welsh), Tony Craig (Detective Jack Huey), Catherine Bruhier (Elaine), Camilla Scott (Inspector Margaret Thatcher), Leslie Nielsen (Buck Frobisher), Kenneth Welsh (Randal Bolt), Dean McDermott (Constable Turnbull), Alex Carter (Agent Ford), Paul Soles (Creeve), Gordon Pinsent (Fraser Sr.), Kirsten Kieferle (Cameraman/Racine), Mark Melymick (Deeter), Falconer Abraham (Team Leader), Scott Wickware (Terrorist/Albee), Kenneth Wickes (Train Conductor), Neil Foster (Computer Guy)

This has always been one of my favorite episodes. It was written by Paul Gross who is playing Fraser. It is almost like a fanfiction. It combines everything a typical fanfiction would do. Integrating fan-favorite guest characters (Leslie Nielsen as Buck Forbisher, Fraser's ghost dad, the incompetent FBI agents from season 1). Acting out the sexual tension between Fraser and his boss by having them bound together. Sadly this episode marks the high-point of their relationship in this series. Paul Gross, who is also a singer/song writer in real life, managed to get one of his songs into the show (he will get another chance in season 3, but on the other hand, he will be the executive producer then). I enjoy both songs he got into the series and have both as mp3 and listen to them from time to time.
