Member Rating:  
An autistic twelve year old boy and his older sister battle a Bengal tiger in a boarded up house as a massive hurricane blows into town, dashing any hope of a hasty escape. In the wake of her mother's death, Kelly (Briana Evigan) is forced to play the roles of sister and parent to her autistic younger brother, Tom. Upon discovering that their step-father, the owner of a safari park, has raided her college savings to purchase a volatile Bengal tiger, Kelly realizes that her dreams of getting a higher education are all but dashed. But just as Kelly begins to think that the worst is behind her, a powerful hurricane begins to batter their house with devastating winds. Even worse, her step-father's tiger has escaped from its cage, and it's been quite a while since the formidable man-eater has had a proper meal. Trapped, terrified, and completely defenseless against one of nature's most perfect predators, Kelly and Tom do their best to avoid the ferocious wild beast until the winds die down, and they can escape outside. Meat Loaf and Garret Dillahunt co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A suprisingly entertaining movie. It's not a movie full of well known stars but it is worth watching. Compared to some of the awful movies that are being made these days this movie was great.

I really liked this movie for some reason. It had you rooting for the main characters and cursing out the tiger. I t kept me interested throughout the movie.

Bland PG rated suspense thriller with a threadbare script and I mean threadbare, if it was over two pages long I'd be surprised. Made for TV is written all over it. Briana, though, shows some acting chops and gives this flick an extra star. She aint bad at all. But thats about it. Wait for it on late night cable when you can't sleep.

Really enjoyable suspense movie. Kept me on the edge of my seat. For those of you who gave this film one star or less; you just don't know a good movie when you see one.

Charles S.

Not really a movie type that I enjoy. A real thriller though and if you like being on the edge this movie is for you. Adding the 12-year old autistic boy was a clever idea.

Tracy C.

This movie was not worth renting. It was basically the same scenario over & over. run in a room, shut the door (to stupid to put a dresser in front of it, etc); watch the tiger bust through while they run...on & on. Don't waste your time. I wouldn't even give it one star really.
