Uhmm... worst tv movie ever?


I've almost finished watching this movie, and the only reason I've stuck with it is because I'm a fan of Daphne Zuniga. She can't save this terrible waste of time and resources, though.

*mild spoilers ahead*








First, the girl is a terrible dancer and a less that inspiring actress. I get that she might be a good amateur ballet dancer, and that this is the cast in a made-for-tv movie, but Reed telling her constantly that she was extraordinary was difficult to stomach.

Second, an eighteen-month long obsession? Over an amateur ballet dancer in the middle of nowhere? That prompted Reed to commit a few crimes and become a stalker? Really?

Third, how in Heaven's name did Deborah go from not wanting to get too involved with Reed (because it might take his attention away from Erika/not wanting to get involved so quickly because it might be too soon for Erika to understand), to sleeping with him in the bedroom across from Erika's on their second "date?" Ridiculous. Unrealistic. Completely OOC, from what we're led to believe.

Worst. Plot. Ever.

The only things that I even half-liked about this movie are that the actor playing Reed is good at the creepy undertones and scenes (like the scrapbook and home movie watching scenes) and that DZ was decent in it, though all involved had little to work with.

This movie makes me so ashamed to be Canadian.

For everyone out there please know that Canada does have good actors (famous and non-famous), good directors and even better movies.

Please forgive us for being in any way associated with this piece of suckage!!!

Yeah, I turned it on while folding clothes. That's about all it's good for.

Agreed: All of the above.

I totally agree. One of the worst parts for me was when the cop who's watching the house comes to the door and tells Deborah that he's keeping an eye on things, and Deborah says, "Gee, between you and that unmarked car that's been outside the house, I've never felt safer!" and the cop says, "As far as I know, I'm the only one here. We didn't assign any unmarked cars." and just WALKS OFF. Um, okay then, see you later, Worst Cop Ever! Meanwhile, Deborah clearly realizes this means something is wrong, since she IMMEDIATELY runs off and calls her friend to let her know that Reed was watching the house--yet she didn't stop the cop as he was walking away??!

Worst cop ever is right. Not to mention you'd think Deborah would have been a little paranoid with an "unmarked car" out front and maybe questioned it instead of assuming it was the cops? What a joke.

It was unrealistic for Jesse to "survive" the stabbing.

Erica and her mom had like the biggest chance to run away when he came in and the other woman tried to throw the coffee pot at him so lame . The only reason I watched this movie was to see Sebastian Spence haha.

I think there are other Lifetime movies that are worse, but this one is pretty hilarious.

Totally! Why does life time make this kind of crap? It wasn't even so scary.
