TV Guide Magazine

Director Arthur, who struggled for eight years to get this film funded, claimed that her right to final cut was revoked by the producers and that they trashed her version and released what she describes as a more exploitative cut.

FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

There is a televisiony smallness in its focus -- and while director Karen Arthur treats her story seriously, she has only a rudimentary feel for the medium and fails to bring the suspense elements to a boil.

By Hal Hinson FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

A denouement as clunky as the title.

By Walter Goodman FULL REVIEW

The aspirations behind Lady Beware -- a tale of psychological and physical molestation -- are unquestionably earnest, heartfelt and serious. At the same time, what's presented on screen is as vile and tasteless as everything the film makers purport to disdain. [22 Sept 1987, p.6]
