Lying in Wait is a 2001 American direct-to-video, thriller film, starring Rutger Hauer, Virginia Madsen and Thomas Newton.

Babee Gordon (Thomas Newton) is a quiet, introverted bachelor who one day discovers he has new next-door neighbors, Keith and Vera Miller (Rutger Hauer and Virginia Madsen).

Weird Wild Realm gave the movie a mixed review, praising Madsen and Hauer's performances and concluding: "Lying in Wait falls halfway between a conventional thriller & an arthouse film.

As a low-budget straight-to-video feature it's no great shakes but it has an attractive cast.

Hauer's performance in such quick moments when his gaze switches from lackluster half-consciousness, to sharp knowing glance, is startling throughout".
