Saved from complete ignominy by one good idea and a couple of chuckles, this embarrassing direct-to-video thriller is about a woman (Mia Sara) and her daughter held captive by an unlikely pair of wackos (Burt Reynolds and Angie Dickinson) and their cruel little girl.  Dickinson thinks Sara is her dead sister, Reynolds thinks she's hot, and their young daughter doesn't seem to care so long as she gets to drag Sara's kid around on a leash.  Can't seem to make up its mind whether to be frightening or funny or so over-the-top foolish as to resonate with the so-bad-it's-good crowd.  Ends up just being dumb.  Based on the book Playmates by Andrew Neiderman.
