And why did I sit through it? I have been a user of IMDb for years but never bothered to sign in to write a review. This movie compelled me to do so, and not in a good way.
Actually, it may have been a good movie had it been made oh...30 or so years ago. But the plot has been done sooooooo many times now that every single second was predictable. The acting was bland (other than the young Asian woman who actually had a bit of a range other than 'smiling teenager', 'terrified teenager' or 'stalker teenager'). I have no idea whose idea it was to make this movie but it was a bad one. I was reminded immediately of 'Swim Fan' and going even further back, when Mark Whalberg was just past his Marky Mark phase and made 'Fear' with a young Reese Whitherspoon. Not to mention all of the zillions of Lifetime movies with the same plot, all of the excellently done Scream films, and even some elements of Beverly Hills 90210. Gah.
Don't waste your time.
