The poor man's Eden Lake mixed with very extreme cliché female fantasies.

"A half-assed re-filming of First Blood." - Ryan Stewart

"While she was out" is an old style- woman-revenge movie. I was really surprised by its cleverness. It reminds me on the good old exploitation movies from the 70´s. ( guts of a virgin or don´t go in the woods for example. ) Movies like these are very rare for today.

Far, far better than its IMDb rating would indicate, with an unnerving performance from Lukas Haas as a young psychopath and a genuinely empathetic protagonist. Not quite a great movie, but definitely a good one.

Okay Movie

"Imagine a Lifetime revenge-themed movie of the week intercut with a few death scenes from the cutting room floor of a Final Destination flick."

technically it's decent, if the protagonist werent the most inefficent escapist i have ever seen it could be good, but she often falls into the same cliche's that have populated these movies for about thirty years. i always have a soft spot, though, for persecuted protagonists fighting back, which she does, and satisfyingly to boot.

WOW...don't mess with Della, does Kim grow old?

I have to admit that I DID enjoy watching this movie. . , MAINLY BECAUSE of how bad it was! Kim Basinger is chased through the woods while easily lugging a red toolbox with her (as if it were a basket)! One by one, the gang members who are trying to kill her corner her and she yanks something out of the toolbox and whacks them with it. Though not meant to be funny, the whole premise is pathetically humorous. THIS is bad movie-making at its best!

A pretty modern Little Riding Hood story, which got several good points but busts them all during the way. The first half is sick boring and the end action creates non kind of arc it shoud. The frame story does not give anything for the rest of the movie. Disappointed.

Lot of poor decision making going on in this one, makes it all less plausible.
