Okay, so this has been troubling me for years and years and years. This is one of my earliest memories (I would have been like 4 or 5), but this film I have memories of!

I only remember very little things – and it’s only the ending (I think).
I saw it mid 90s on TV. It could be a film, or a TV movie. I don’t think it was a TV Show though…
The almost-pointless things I remember are the following…

– Giant CGI creature (I think of a pharaoh like Dog?), is terrorsiing over Suburbia in America. It is stormy.
– There’s a family with a son (?) and for some reason, his mum is all that can beat this monster thing during a massive lightning storm.
SHe sacrifices herself and then …
– next thing I remember, she is in a wheelchair, paralysed (maybe at a sons football game). She can’t move, she doesn’t speak, she’s completely quadraplegic I think, but this is because she sacrificed herself.  So she beat the creature or whatever.
-I think it ended with them pushing her wheelchair to watch a football game for a high school match, I think…

Anyway that is all I actually remember. I dont think the CGI was fantastic, which makes me think TV movie but who knows. It’s also not something i remembered being an overly adult movie, like I think it was a kids film or a teen audience film. BUt the ending seems a bit dark for that.. .so I don’t know.

It was in English. It was American (suburbia i think). Colour. And it would be from the late 80s/early 90s I reckon.

Any help would be fantastic!!!!

Cheers
