The Terror Inside 2007 Horror Movie Review

Every now and again a TV movie comes along and surprises the viewer with its excellent casting and writing; “The Terror Inside” falls into that category. Heather Locklear stars in this forgotten telefilm about a woman who suffers from alternate personality disorder, in which she takes on the personalities of multiple people. As the film progresses the reasons this woman suffers from this mental disorder are fully and graphically depicted. The movie is widely known for the graphic sex scene between the Locklear character and a man in a van. It was surprising the network censors allowed such a scene be broadcast.

The DVD also stars Brett Cullen as Locklear’s husband. The set is a barebones edition.

I also have to add that Heather’s portrayal of a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder ranks up there with the virtuoso performances of Sally Field in “Sybil” and Erika Slezak’s as Vicki/Niki on TV’s “One Life to Live”.
