This movie is exactly like Julia Roberts' Sleeping with the Enemy. Her husband is abusive. Check. She fakes her death. Check. She moves to a small town to get away from it all. Check. She meets a new man when she's not quite ready. She even lies about her real name. Husband figures out and comes back to kill her. All check! Not that bad of a movie, I've just seen it before.

You're right except the husband in "Sleeping With..." is much more terrifying! I'm sorry but the husband in this movie was a joke. Or should I say the actor playing the husband.

Really, Cheena71? I'm watching it right now, and this man is so horrible I would like to get a gun & go into the tv (if that were possible) and shoot him myself.
And I did think of Sleeping With the Enemy right away. If I married someone like that (in either movie) I would fake my death, too, if that's what it took to get away from him. Makes me feel horrible for people who go through stuff like that in real life.

Horrible movie! The acting was bad, the script was just a poorly revised Sleeping With The Enemy. Also, it didn't develope the story just put bits and pieces together. I'm sorry I wasted my time watching!
shareI was so disappointed cause I thought it really looked good and I like Josie and Lochlyn. It was waaaaaay too much like SWTE but the husband was not scary. The other thing that was a little different was she was more sloppy in leaving. Telling that guy where she was going and having him buy her ticket? Asking for alternate routes out of the forest? Brainless.
shareI was on vacation and sick in bed so I turned this movie on and immediately thought of Sleeping With The Enemy. Sure, it had a few changes (like she is an artist and gets lost in the woods as opposed to drowning) but it was pretty much the same movie.
shareAnd don't forget husband accuses her of flaunting herself in front of the window, and the "new neighbor" he accuses her of flirting with from the window...
Same movie. It's amazing no one sued. LOL
**SPOILERS MAYBE**
That is the first thing I thought of as I got more into the movie. Once I heard the zipline scenario, I knew where it was going. Rich, intelligent husband saves a poor, pretty girl from ruins and BAM! I own you biatch! Remake of Sleeping with the Enemy. It was so predictable too. When the girlfriend was talking about the pills after the accident and the dosage, I just knew they were going to come into play somehow, because why was that comment relevant? And they DID come back into play. It wasn't like she was watching her or anything. I guess they tried.
I agree this movie is another Sleeping with the Enemy except that in that movie Julia Roberts' husband was much more intelligent, powerful, and intimidating. I could believe she couldn't get away from him without doing what she did. In this movie she should have just squashed the jerk like a bug - he was such a wuss.

I was just coming here to post this very same thought! Husband gets phone call from someone (in this movie, a GPS sales rep) that triggers him to know she's still alive. CHECK.
Classical music playing in her dream about him finding her at the cabin. CHECK
I'm waiting for the "Brown Eyed Girl" dance video scenario ....
It's exactly like sleeping with the enemy. The paint on the blazer jacket (sand on the jacket in SWTE)..... The neighbor gazing up in the window while she paints (the doctor neighbor admiring the house and seeing his wife at the window in SWTE). There are a lot of similarities.
