This is the fate that befalls the young Danielle St. Claire (Cerina Vincent) and her boyfriend, Justin(Dominic Zamprogna) one evening, in acclaimed TV producer Stephen J. Cannell's made-for-television frightfest, It Waits. Traumatized by a recent auto accident that killed her friend - in which she was driving - St. Claire exiles herself to a ranger station in the San Bernardino Mountains. Meanwhile, a group of archaeology students from Princeton unwittingly open a nearby cave and unleash a centuries-old demon - that heads straight for Danielle. Underplayed and subtle, director Stephen R. Monroe leaves the goriest and most gruesome details off camera, allowing terror to build in the viewer's mind. Cannell co-scripted in addition to executive producing. Eric Schweig co-stars. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...ultimately bogged down by a melodramatic opening half-hour and a overall feeling of tediousness.

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
Ironically, in this film, the "it" doesn't "wait" at all. It runs all over the mountain tearing things apart.
