Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
This was actually a very good "lifeless" movie (that is what my husband calls them). He woke up in the middle and was actually watching. I don't know what there is about Shannen Dougherty but I think she is a very good actress..I really do. She leaves her lover because they are constantly fighting and gets her own apartment in downtown NY and her nightmares begin. Someone is stalking her via telescope from the apartment building across the street. Horrible, disguised, scary phone calls to her are creepy.! I have to admit she does everything possible to try and get out of her situation. Let's just say I watch a lot of Lifetime movies and this one has some twists and turns that keep you guessing!
**** warning may contain details of the movie's plot **** I watched this typical made for TV movie hoping something was different. The plot was ordinary and very predictable. Most of the acting was weak and dry showing no character depth. Who really cared what happened to Shannon's character. The only bright side to this movie was the Canadian actor Sean Tucker. Although not given a huge roll, most of the movie displaying Shannon's sub-par acting abilities, Sean seemed to have made the most of what he was given. He played his part well dropping subtle hints of what his character was up to while not giving too much away. He played the villain well striking fear into the viewer's mind with his cold stare and deep, menacing voice. It was unfortunate that more emphasis wasn't put on Sean's character as he was the only bright spot of the movie.
This move helped me take a break from a frustrating maths PhD problem. Its the kind of thing you can watch when you have your mind on something else, or out of the corner of your eye while doing some household chores. The film is Canadian but the story is supposed to be set in New York, which doesn't come over too well because the streets are too clean and Celeste (Shannen Doherty) can afford a great apartment with an average job!This not withstanding plot is not too difficult to follow and flows smoothly. While being somewhat two dimensional the characters didn't bore me. On the whole I found it above average for the material my cable company pads their lineup with. Definitely a good way to spend a rainy afternoon, 6/10.
i found the beggining of this film particularly moving as the performance given by shannon was excellent if anything that made up for the somewhat dubiouse story line and directing.also this film itself at times held the viewers only because of the presence of suspence and acting that took place by about 2 good actors in the whole film.
