Daninger very weak, unfortunately

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

darkavenger77 I enjoy both Lifetime movies and the TV show Supernatural. I often use terms from the latter in reviews of the former, such as gank when someone is killed. This one tries to combine both and fails. It's stupid, but not in the normal cheesy way some of us have come to love about Lifetime movies, it is a bad stupid.This movie starts out standard Lifetime fare with Shannon Elizabeth as the female in jeopardy. Even her quasi-amazonian beauty (she's taller than almost everyone else) can't pull this one above 1 star. It's obvious who the Lifetime psycho (LP) is early on despite an attempt to paint the ex-husband as the culprit. This would have made a decent hour long episode, but it went off the rails in the second half.Alex was in jeopardy once from LP Michael and then he fell off a cliff. His spirit then jeopardized her and others. She lets a low budget Miss Cleo instruct her on dealing with the LP, or the spirit that is the LP. Bad advice, as it didn't work! She should have called Sam and Dean Winchester! In the end, she ganks Michael's spirit and accepts the ongoing marriage proposal from Chris.The plus side- her boyfriend has a cool C2 Corvette, but of course he's not smart enough (despite being a lawyer) to use jackstands under both sides of it.It's something of a running joke that many Lifetime made in Canada movie actors have guested on Supernatural. It's kind of like the Canadian Law & Order in that respect. I got a chuckle out of the fact for this one out of the main cast, only the villain/spirit Michael (Christian Campbell) had played on Supernatural.One other observation- this situation brings to mind and reinforces Barney Stinson's hot/crazy scale from How I Met Your Mother. Alex is hot, so she's expected to be a lot crazier than the average Lifetime heroine.Regular movie score: 1/10 (higher is better). Lifetime movie score: 2/10 (higher is stupider).

SnoopyStyle Alex Wilson (Shannon Elizabeth) is a Seattle book editor. She's worried about her son Danny being stalked by his father Julian from whom she has a restraining order against. Co-worker Denise Fisher likes new guy Michael McBride but he seems to like Alex more. A mysterious figure injures her boyfriend Chris and she immediately suspects Julian. The police clears Julian. Michael starts stalking Alex and falls off a cliff after struggling with her. She keeps getting harassed and then it turns supernatural.This is never going to be a great movie. The woman stalking movie isn't much but at least it makes sense. I am willing to follow the twists and turns. The movie is alright for the first half. Then out of nowhere, the movie turns into Poltergeist. It's a bad turn and the movie crashes. Shannon Elizabeth is a solid actress. Nobody else really shines in this. The first half is a solid 6. The second half could be a 5 but the turn in-between is a big fat zero.

canuckteach *mild spoilers but read this instead of losing 103 minutes of your life* Like others, I started to watch this, had other commitments, and taped the last 90 minutes.. how do you define 'fast'? the speed with which I taped over that 90 minutes of media! the audience was expecting the 'new hire' to be the real culprit stalking our heroine when the 'plot' was pointing to the abusive ex-husband. of course, we were waiting for a twist so we could start to poke holes in the story. instead, we got some supernatural bizarre climax that looked like it came out of a short story written by a 10-year old... oh: and two people jump out of a speeding car and land on the grass with only a few bumps & bruises! hmmm -- I'm not sure which part of that conclusion was more juvenile.How sad: clever young writers of novels and screenplays are out-of-work and THIS gets made?Movietime? 'time' to get a real 'movie'...

Murli I feel sorry for TV movies- honestly I do. It's as if they were made for one reason only- that they were not good enough to bring out on the silver screen i.e. movie cinemas in wide releases, and most seem to be targeted towards a single demographic audience- mature women. Many new TV movies (and I've unfortunately seen more than my fair share) have a woman as the lead in some sort of sad, pity-me tragic sort of role which requires them to take a huge challenge/mystery upon themselves and try to solve it and save themselves and everyone else that matters to them. The writers seem to give them the qualities of Xena, a model like look, and the skills of Nancy Drew which means that the police "detectives" in the movie are either too stupid or don't really have a clue as to how to do real police work.I have yet to see a really good female led TV move (and I really want to see one as I'm not a sexist pig!) but as far as this movie breaking new ground it actually takes a big leap backwards.Shannon Elizabeth looks good. And that's the only positive thing I can say about her. The plot, which started out interestingly enough, descended into the depths of garbage after fifteen minutes had elapsed. If the director or the screenwriters were attempting a shock twist in the who is it part they must have missed that lecture in their film school classes because it's a dead giveaway after the first few minutes of the movie. If anyone is surprised when the "revelation" is revealed...I would recommend that you buy some Where's Wally books and study them hard.I digress- back to Shannon. Her character commits every cliché that B horror/thriller/suspense movie leads are supposed to do. Her acting's never been her strong point but it wasn't as painfully evident until now. She pouts and screams and whimpers- none of it sincere nor believable. The rest of the cast ham their lines in either a bored fashion or one that suggests that they're only doing it for the paycheck.The plot became so ludicrous that I actually stopped watching so I don't even know how it ends but given that it's a TV movie rest assured that all's well that must end well. For my sanity it's best that I am blissfully ignorant as I can't imagine wanting to know what really transpires.So, if you're a HUGE die hard Shannon Elizabeth fan (send me your address and I'll send you a get well soon card) ignore this rant and enjoy yourselves before they turn out the lights in your padded cells. The rest of you can move onto something that's more interesting...like watching paint dry.
