Adam is the heartbreakingly true story of the disappearance of 6-year-old Adam Walsh (John Boston) at a South Florida shopping mall. Adam's anguished parents John and Reve Walsh (Daniel J. Travanti and JoBeth Williams) turn to the FBI for help in finding their son, only to discover that the federal organization does not involve itself in such cases. As hope for Adam's return fades, the Walshes begin an organization to aid and comfort other families of missing children. The story does not end happily for Adam or his parents, but as a result of this tragedy, Congress passes the Federal Missing Children Act in 1983. This made-for-TV drama, originally telecast October 10, 1983, was followed by a sequel three years later. The real-life John Walsh later hosted the popular "reality-based" TV series America's Most Wanted. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Horror once-removed does not quite work in this tale from James L. Wilson about a group of ten college students heading out for a get-away weekend. As the students are on the way to the distant lake and their brief escape from school, they try to scare each other with stories about its creepy history. It is said that there is a "devil wind" there that attacks strangers. After the group arrives, they take turns telling tall tales which are then illustrated from start to finish. In one of their stories an abominable snowman hangs a young man and in another, a haunted apartment creates havoc on the youths who had decided to spend the night there. None of the stories is likely to scare modern viewers raised on more frightening fare. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
