Riddler's Moon

A mysterious message being sent to a disabled youth, a family farm in dire straits, a mysterious malaise that is impacting a usually fertile farming community. The answer is surprising and very satisfying. Good suspense and acting. This movie is a must see!

I would just like to say BRAVO to the creators of this movie. Not only is the plot good, but the little bits are accurate. The son as Spina Bifida, as I do. Everything mentioned about him is correct, down to things like his foot rests on his chair being in the usual positions and not evenly lined up. If only more shows like this would be produced, maybe there would be a better understanding of disabilities.

I think this is a great Made for TV movie! It is a Drama about the struggles of farmland in Indiana. It also has a little twist into the Sci-Fi genre, with a young wheel-chaired boy trying to convince his single mother that "something" is going to come down and make things better. I suggest anyone who enjoys watching dramas on Saturday night to check this out, and buy the DVD. overall, I thought this was a Great film!

or would "Close Encounters of the Second Kind" in the "Field of Dreams" between the "Children of the Corn" and "The Monolith Monsters" be a more appropriate title? I watched this one on a German TV channel last night without hoping for much even with Corbin Bernsen in it, but "Riddler's Moon" turned out to be a nice little sci-fi fantasy with believable and sympathetic characters in rural surroundings and one not so sympathetic one. It used familiar elements from several older films, mixed them a little differently and the result was this little winner.
