View of Terror (2003 TV Movie)
7/10
Keeps You Guessing
22 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Without the magic of Hitchcock, this is a "Rear Window"-style film about a perverted character spying upon another in a posh New York apartment building. The suspense is decent as the main character Celeste attempts to discover who is her nemesis.

Celeste is a woman from Ohio, who has come to the big city to work for her friend Tasha. Brent is an actor who has started a romantic relationship with Celeste. But their arguments have led Celeste to move out and take time away from Brent. But her new abode leads to a living nightmare with the perpetrator who has disrupted her life.

"View of Terror" is a by-the-numbers mystery that keeps the audience guessing about the identity of the voyeur. A number of suspect begins to emerge from a balanced set of characters: the sleazy apartment manager named Glenn Moser, Celeste's sultry friend Tasha, the extroverted neighbor David Jacobsen, a non-descript security guard named Derrick, and Justine Jameson, who left her job in a nearby flower shop because she was harassed by the deranged voyeur, who eventually killed her boyfriend.

As the tension builds, the list of possible suspects is narrowed down to the inevitable. It will then be up to Celeste to defeat the forces of evil due to the lack of support from an incompetent police force that spends unlimited time in interviews with Celeste and virtually no time in investigation.
