Sanctuary is a 2001 American made-for-television thriller film written and directed by Katt Shea from a 1997 book by Nora Roberts. It stars Melissa Gilbert and Costas Mandylor.
Variety gave the film a negative review and said: "For its first half, Nora Roberts' "Sanctuary" delivers a fairly well-executed woman-in-jeopardy tale. Director and co-screenwriter Katt Shea hits all the right beats, establishes the characters with a touch of depth and even invests the genre piece with some stylish dream sequences. But after its best moment at the hour break, a nicely designed plot twist that marries the backstory with the present tale of a woman being stalked, the telepic rapidly descends into mind-numbing silliness, exposing its true roots as a bestselling dime novel romance masquerading as a thriller".
