They break into people's homes and steal food, leaving their daughter Janie (Julia Devin) in the car to occupy herself. So the state takes Janie away from them and puts her up for adoption. Unfortunately for Janie's new parents, the Cliftons (Moira Kelly and Vincent Spano), the state didn't catch the Netherwoods, and the bad parents want their daughter back. This summary, though accurate, isn't fair to The Tie That Binds; despite the broad strokes of the plot, the movie is surprisingly successful at creating suspense. The violent scenes are both effectively brutal and effectively restrained--what we see looks like it hurts, but the most gruesome violence happens offscreen. The performances aren't subtle, but like the movie itself, they're grounded enough in reality to sustain the suspense. The gorgeous cinematography lends itself to some beautiful images (a sheet blown away by the wind, fireflies flickering in front of an unfinished house) that create a unusually graceful sense of impending danger. This may not have played as well on the big screen, but in the intimacy of your own home The Tie That Binds has an accumulating creepiness that will last longer than the jagged shocks and jolts of most recent thrillers. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ties that Bind"I thought this movie was great, I remember I watched it some years back, but never got the movie. The two outlaw parents were crazy people and proved that they would'nt let anything get in their way to get their daughter." Rating: - DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY TIESLovely little Julia Devin as Janie, the little girl in this well crafted thriller, is the soul of this movie, and her plight and situation forms the crux of this movie. Director Wesley Strick has added some beautiful visual scenes: a sheet blowing in the wind; fireflies flickering in front of the vacant house; little Janie framed in a window with curtains blowing and a picturesque night sky. Daryl Hannah and Keith Carradine are ominously evil in their roles as Janie's real criminal parents; Vincent ...

Read More Rating:  - DisappointingI watched it coz it wasfrom the same maker(s) of "The hand that rocks the cradle" & I had high expectations. All I can say is it's no near to that movie & this film is such a disappointment. Rating: - Watch it for Vincent SpanoThrills, suspense, violence...All this with a sweet undertone of an innocent child. Carradine and Hannah played two psychotic killers...a great stretch for their normal roles. They were both convincingly scary, and I wouldn't want to come across them in the middle of the night. Sour story of spree killing. Not recommended for young children. If you love Vincent Spano, he does an excellent job in this movie. I watched this movie because he was in it. He gets 100 stars from me. Browse for similar items by category:
