Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
View MoreA pretty good "who's stalking her" movie. Nastassja Kinski is very good as usual. The other acting is solid as well; the husbands,the sister, the colleague, the private detective. The protagonist, Susan, is a successful designer who loses her beloved husband on a rainy night in a tragic accident. She has inherited money from her father, including a trust fund for her unreliable sister. She doles out the money to her in small increments over time. The sister resents this but is married to an abusive jerk who spends her money on bad investments in get quick rich schemes. Susan consults with a bright and charming investment adviser and begins dating him. They take a trip to Las Vegas and get married. Then a mysterious woman begins stalking her. Her husband suspects its may be an unstable former girlfriend. The stalking escalates to harassment and attacks. Decent mystery, but with one inexplicable flaw. I won't describe the flaw so as not to spoil the mystery. Would love to inquire with the screenwriter about it though. Suspense builds effectively and there are a few startling moments. Very tame in terms of language and gore. Very economical exposition of the plot and characters, almost no wasted moments. Some very visually interesting sets and effective editing.
View MoreI caught this movie last night on the horror movie channel, and this Movie is very stylish. It is slow paced, but the ending picks up, furiously! It has all of the makings of a classic horror film. Suspense, Eerie Killer, and a twist. In the ending, i could kind of tell what would happen. I was like "I bet the husband has something to do with this"... then he turns out to be the killer! This movie is sure to either become a classic or a forgotten gem. I think it will turn out to be like THE PUPPET MASTER, a great movie, not so great reviews. Overall, 9.5/10.
View MoreTwo years after her husband Alan died, environmental designer Susan won't admit she is lonely, but her business partner Peggy sets her up with Kevin, a financial adviser. The relationship is supposed to be professional but later develops into something more.Susan's sister Justine gets money from a trust fund (so their parents were rich), but not too much at one time because her husband Jack, who is abusive, might spend it all.Susan starts getting mysterious messages and phone calls after a female neighbor says Susan shouldn't close her blinds because she 'likes to watch'. And then the situation escalates into something truly frightening.Nastassja Kinski did a good job except for the accent. If her character had been adopted, it would have been understandable. But her sister had no accent. I think Kinski was trying to talk like a 'regular American' but wasn't quite succeeding, which was distracting.The standout performance came from Gordon Pinsent as a quirky yet dignified private detective Susan hired. I liked his classical music (which he pretended to conduct), his dial telephone, and his early 1970's Chevy.I was impressed with the lobby Susan designed in a downtown skyscraper located in an unnamed city--it even had full-size trees! Perhaps it wasn't just done for the movie but it was a great job by someone.The mystery was interesting, and although there was some violence, it wasn't too explicit. There were many possible leads in the case, but the final solution certainly wasn't one I expected. The ending turned out to be quite exciting.For a TV-movie, this was pretty good.
View MoreSurprisingly...this is not bad at all. Yes, it's strictly a straight-to-video/made-for-tv-movie kind of thing, but it's paced well, coherent, reasonably suspenseful, and Nastassja looks great. I say 'reasonably suspenseful' because most people will figure out the mystery 3/4 of the way into the film.
