Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

angushome Possibly the worst movie I have ever watched - it feels and sounds like it was written, directed and produced by a committee of talentless sixteen year old boys who think that by generating a sense of menace they have achieved enough and need do no more. In fairness, the actors do the best they can. The music was dreadful, the scenes of a guitar-playing, angst-ridden youth practicing with his electric guitar were comically clichéd. The characters were without depth. Themes which might have been explored were treated like like footnotes - Kate's childhood and abusive father, the first victim's apparent death-wish. No attempt was made to understand or explain the principal character. Even the beautiful location was grossly under-used.The only positive note is that it made me realize how much worse other films could be.

ma-cortes This Canadian film starts with Art Stone(Tom Berenguer),he's a stranger with a magnetic personality.He results to be a psycho-killer who killed several people from South Carolina till Washington State.The psycho is picked up hitch-hiking on the roadway by a professor(Gabay) going to an Oregon watchtower.Stoner takes his identity and one time in the fishing village, he befriends two brothers, Kate(Rachel Hayward), an attractive spinster and Mike(Tygh Runyan), a troubled young man.This independent picture packs suspense, thriller, sensational outdoors and stunning performances. However contains some moments little boring and slow movement, furthermore a strong sexual scenes, for that reason is rated ¨R¨ for sexuality and language. Nice acting for starring pair, Tom Berenguer and Rachel Hayward, and enjoyable Tygh Runyan who plays with his guitar on the summit of the lighthouse, because he's actually a singer, playing in a Vancouver experimental band. The film displays a glimmer cinematography by Peter Benison, filmed in locations of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.The motion picture is regularly directed by George Mihalka who had previously directed similar stories( Psychic, Relative fear).He's usually movies television director( Crossbow, Da Vinci's inquest, Windsor protocol) and occasionally motion pictures director (Bullet to Beijing, the return of Harry Palmer). Rating : Average but entertaining for serial-killers genre buffs.

Claudio Carvalho Art Stoner (Tom Berenger) is a serial killer, who becomes friend of his victims before killing them, and assuming their identity after their deaths. After killing and assuming the identity of a professor of an university, he moves to work as watchtower in a coastal city. There, he becomes a close friend of his colleague Mike O'Conner (Tygh Runyan), a young man in probation. He starts dating Mike's sister, Kate (Rachel Hayward), who is a single woman of thirty and something years and owns of a fishing vessel. In order to avoid spoilers, I will not make any further comments. This movie is a reasonable entertaining for killing time. Full of clichés, it seems to be some sort of standard screenplay available for producers. The modifications in the script of this type of movies are minimum and combined among them. However, this one is well produced, has a good soundtrack and the good actor (although very fat) Tom Berenger. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): `Um Estranho na Torre' (`A Stranger in the Tower')

TheVid All the performances here are very good, and the eerie tone of this movie, about a serial murderer and his effect on the people he encounters, becomes it's driving force (as opposed to the usual cat-and-mouse, thriller premise). The motivations of the protagonists are subtly explored, and the movie is awash with sexual tension and scenic texture. The chess-game scene is remarkably creepy and effective. This little murder story is highly recommended for discriminating adults.
