At the Douglas Academy Boarding School, Courtney Snow (Sara Rue) and Jane Halloran (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) are best friends and Jane is in love with her classmate Brett (Kavan Smith), who is the son of the Headmaster Ian Ramsey (Duncan Regehr). Jane goes to Cambridge and when she returns, she goes missing at school. Courtney and Ian seek her out and they discover that she committed suicide in a store and her journal is never found. Seventeen years later, Courtney Snow has become a famous writer with the novel she wrote based on Jane and she is invited to teach at Douglas. She accepts the invitation but when she sees the wealthy student Laurel McAvoy, she realizes that Laurel resembles Jane. Soon Courtney believes that Laurel is actually the reincarnation of Jane."Nightmare at the End of the Hall" is a totally predictable Canadian thriller with a good story but poor screenplay. In the middle of the movie, only Courtney Snow is not capable to foresee the whole plot. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Reencarnação – O Medo Encontra-se em Repouso" ("Reincarnation – The Fear Stays Resting")

I sure didn't pay to see this, and I doubt this movie will haul in any big bucks.. This film is really something you would see sent on some mid-budget TV channel quite late at night on a weekday. (Like "Onsdagsfilmen" on TVNorge for the Norwegians out there)To be honest it wasn't completely terrible, the story was, well, OK'ish I suppose. Nothing you haven't seen before. If it wasn't for the supernatural part of it it's something you could've probably seen portrayed on all the crime shows, i.e CSI,Cold Case, Law&Order etc etc.Although the characters were a bit "flat" I liked the one who played Jane, and the younger version of the lead character.I don't think this movie really deserves a much longer comment, you get what I'm trying to say. It's a cheap TV movie, not incredibly badly done but not good either. If it wasn't for the fact that I was at work on the night shift and I had nothing better to do I would probably have turned it off to watch something else.

A true gem on Lifetime! Thank God it was promoted by the network or it might have been missed. Why are there more such well crafted genre films, instead of the low budget looking schlock that passes for entertainment on Lifetime? We want more such intelligent thrillers.Sarah Rue was brilliant, convincing. Jaqueline McIness has star potential- a real find. All aspects of the film, the writing, acting, lighting,cinematography, direction was first rate. What could have been a confusing pretentious mess with flash backs was a completely engrossing experience. Bravo to all! Can't wait to see it again! A classy picture. An unexpected twist. A psycho thriller in true Hitchock tradition.

This is probably one of the best LMN movies I have seen--it was much better than I expected--an atmospheric, Gothic mystery. Sara Rue stars as Courtney, a writer who accepts a teaching position at a prestigious boarding school where she herself attended 17 years ago. Upon arrival, strange occurrences happen, particularly when Courtney sees Laurel (outstanding performance from Jacqueline MacInnes Wood of The Bold and the Beautiful), a student who is identical to Courtney's best friend who died years ago.Just about everything about Nightmare at the End of the Hall works, and works well. Rue and McInnes Wood were great casting choices, with Kavan Smith, Sebastian Gacki, and Amber Borycki turning in capable and credible performances. The lighting, locations, and sets lend to the overall mood of the film. This premiered on LMN tonight.
