No...but yes..but still no..(but yes!)
nisskyline14 August 2022
Directing/writing/editing team failed this flick. She says no, but then yes, but then no, but then yes over and over. It's takes the "turn around he's right behind you" feeling out of play and makes you want to bang your head against a wall.

Creepy multiverse variant of Channing Tatum is on the hunt, finds a somewhat attractive lady that has serious issues seeing red flags, evil Tatum delves further and further into coo-coo land, situations escalate, he's dangerous, she's in danger.

The movie may have gotten a few more stars if the first half hour didn't make you want to bash something over the whole "go away I never want to see you again...sure come in for some wine!!" dialogue.

Disappointed
mzefabulous12 June 2022
There a lot I could say about this movie and it won't be good. The female's actions toward the stalker was confusing. She don't want anything to do whim but she keep letting him in her home. There was so many times I rolled my eyes at her actions that my eyeballs got tired.

Clueless Writer
s-l-k19 June 2022
Bad. Just all kinds of B-A-D bad. The writer could use a few classes on how to write a thriller and dialogue. I just can't believe this was allowed to be made. Tell me one woman who actually shows she has a clue would actually allow herself to be manipulated over and over again with the lamest lines ever. Totally missed the mark, could have been better if someone else had read the script other than the writer. -5 from me.

Terrible Acting
canuckfan-1911628 June 2022
I don't know why I have a thing for these terrible made for TV movies. The lead lady is a bad actor but not as bad as her best friend. And why would someone taking a course to become a therapist fall for the dudes narcissistic "charm"? I haven't actually given anything away.

Very Disappointed
lmccrary-756226 July 2022
The actors and actresses were horrible. This should have never made it on any streaming services. I agree with the other reviews, why allow someone to keep entering your home when you are not interested.

No redeeming qualities
burgerman9329 March 2022
Horrible actors, unnatural dialogue, soap opera vibes. I probably could give a laundry list of critiques for this film, but I'll save myself the aggravation.

Get ready to be disappointed 😞
sheilatimms16 January 2022
What an absolute shocker. I don't think I have ever seen so many bad actors in one movie. The whole thing is ridiculous from start to end.

I can't think of anything positive to say regards this movie apart from it does end although the 85 minutes felt like an eternity.

If I hadn't of paid to view I would of switched off after the first 10/15 minutes if not sooner.

1 out of 3 actors
kelsoroom17 February 2022
The two actresses really sucked. They really dropped the ball with the best friend missing one of her fake nails and then trying to hide it in the next scene lol. That cracked me up I mean how cheap are you not to glue her nail back on and reshoot the scene...anyway...i thought the stalker guy was a good actor, the women not so much. Story was creepy enough, and exactly why I dont let men know where I live. Ever. I'll be following the male actor now, he did creep me out! Two extra stars for him otherwise id say its a 3.

Come in, get out, come in, get out, have sex with me, get out...
iamtherobotman14 October 2023
Although i will never condone the behaviour of the antagonist in this film, it does serve as an example of just how easily men can be mislead by women.

This woman plays classic mind games with the antagonist throughout this film. She kicks him out of her home, only to allow him back in 5 minutes later, he acts inappropriately, she kicks him out again. The next day he comes back, she allows him in, he acts inappropriately, she kicks him out. He contacts her, she lets him him, they sleep together, she immediately kicks him out... And so this pattern continues.

Yes, the guy is nuts, but it's difficult to tell who the real crazy one is in this mess of a film. The scenarios, the dialogue, the entire plot is like something a prepubescent boy whose hormones are running wild would write, believing it to be a romantic. Some of it is only marginally more inventive than "i've just moved in next door, and i seem to have run out of coffee". It's embarrassing as a film and another example of one of those films where you genuinely wonder how it was ever made.

Laughable and Ridiculous
alaedeensulieman3 July 2022
This movie looked like it was made by freshman college students who turned this in last minute. It was very bad. I wish I can take back those 85 minutes. This movie was a 10/10 in terms of Comedy. I did nothing but laugh at the terrible acting. TERRIBLE.

Irritating
Evieweevie10 October 2023
The most annoying film ever, everything about Mike is annoying, his voice, his acting, his face. Couldn't watch all of it as the male actor was really bad and absolutely irritating! Any normal person would've called the police with that much harassment! Not let him come in again for a drink of wine. Typical stupid film making out the woman as weak and easy to intimidate. If Prime don't put any decent free films on prime I will happily cancel my subscription. Good luck to anyone who can watch it without wanting to punch the man's face in. Absolutely awful from the first half hour I watched it!.

Disgracefully pathetic!
haroot_azarian21 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I agree with some of the reviewoers. First of all this movie is an insult to all real victims of stalkers and violence.

I mean what kind of a character to create in Jen? To be honest I thought she was a sexoholic who could not meet real people in real life to interract and perhaps build a relationship? And resorted to online dating.

The funniset part of the movie was when she said to the short lived lover, Rick if I remember the name correctly, "I don't have sex on a first date, maybe we can just kiss". And what's the next scene? It's the following morning and they're both in bed.

Oh and it gets even better when she has wild sex with psycho stalker, and here's the kicker: afterwards she says, "I can't believe I just slept with my stalker!" Oh and where the hell are the police when three people associated to her disappear? I guess they were too busy killing innocent people at routine traffic stops huh!

You almost know immediately when the writer and director AND one of the characters of a movie are one one person what a load of garbage you are in for; in this instance it happens to be Mr. Jared Cohn.

Jack Pearson was annoyingly garbage in his character. Veronika Issa wasn't also much to brag about. She did a lot better in the Lifetime movie Party from Hell. All in all this was a terrible stalker movie, and did not do much to highlight the real life stalker horror stories.

Another Lifetime movie Only Mine (2019) which was loosely based on a true story and starred the superb Amber Midthunder was a lot better and also No one Would Tell (2018) also based on a true story starring Shannon Doherty was a lot better than this joke of a movie. I do not recommend this one.

Prime video is showing Lifetime Movies

The stalker in this film is an over the top cliche. She goes back to the stalker for a sexual fling. Makes zero sense. It's a ridiculously ill conceived script. I didn't expect Basic Instinct but wow it was drivel. She waits to the last 15 minutes of the film to contact the authorities. Garbage..

Stalked
BandSAboutMovies12 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Jen (Veronika Issa, Devil's Triangle) is single and doing what so many of us do, date online. I mean, that's how Becca and I met. She doesn't have as much luck as the two of us did, as she hooks up with Mike DeVorzon (Alien Conquest) who goes from nice to stalker - in the house - in no time at all. If he can't have Jen, well, no one can.

Director and writer Jared Cohn is a familiar name to those who watch a lot of direct to streaming movies. Here are just a few of the 47 and counting movies he's directed: Evil Nanny, Halloween Pussy Trap Kill! Kill!, Atlantic Rim: Resurrection (written by Geoff Meed of the really fun Asteroid-a-Geddon), Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash, the shark romps Swim and Shark Season, Fast and Fierce: Death Race and Alien Predator.

The most famous face in this movie is Scout Taylor-Compton, who played Lita Ford in The Runaways and Laurie Strode in the two Rob Zombie Halloween films that have suddenly gotten a lot better for some reason in the last month or so. We most recently reviewed her work in Apache Junction (2021), as well as the 2020 releases of Abducted (as a kick ass cop!), Enteral Code, and Getaway.

More Lifetime than Fangoria, nonetheless this was a quick and painless film about a very painful relationship.

Watchable but silly
paulhynes-1110222 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I suppose the big question to ask about this movie is why didn't Scout Taylor Compton play the lead actress? I felt that straight away was a missed opportunity and could have improved the movie a little more probably would have got more interest and views and without her the movie lacks a good lead damsel character a bizarre decision at least the movie is watchable with a few silly decisions by the actress the movie for some reason seem to go with with the later seems towards to the end of the movie Scout would have had her moment confused why she just had a little part at the beginning of the movie.

Make up your mind
mattfrancis-6025422 October 2023
Firstly, the lead who plays the stalker, fantastic performance. Some of the others too did really well. This might look a simple role to play but it's not.

Now the issues I've got with this movie, well I'm not going to lie this was really bad and too many poor things to mention. Does that clear it up yet? No? Okay let's break it down a bit.

This is an American film and so like always, no matter the genre - all repetitive. Cliche and cheesy.

The female lead, I think has just about as many issues as the stalker minus the killing. She's a student, does homework yet barely does any and is clearly fortunate and spoilt. What student had that sort of place? Oh the ones in American films of course.

So then moving on to the type of girl she is, girl power and all that but like so many serial online daters she first claims not to be looking for anything, then says he's not her type, then she's not ready for a boyfriend, next she argues knowing he's crazy and getting all the vibes then is a bit teasing with someone else and then backs off, that's fine right, but then she almost does it with another guy and then does it with the stalker anyway before meeting up with an ex. Ahem, talk about indecisive. Not only that but typical springs to mind. She was stuck up but has standards, some fairly high like most until hours later because she's not had anyone cook for her spend money on her and most of all sleep with her for a few weeks she caves in no time because it suits her. Yep sounds like girls of today.

How is it in her Venus fly trap crib, she wakes up each morning with a face full of make up and her hair done? Hmm. Also, why doesn't anyone find the bodies or see in broad day light? There's plenty there for the YouTube sin tally.

I mean come on, I know they want to make more people aware of the dangers of the dating pool as if we needed a reality check on that one, but I can't understand why film makers and actors constantly make a mockery out of us subjecting us to this trash. Nor can I understand why so many people watch this sort of stuff. Baffling.

This movie I rate one of the lowest this year, that is fair.

Give them a chance
ulysesschoice-8533221 July 2022
All these bad reviews, it's an ok movie. Don't come in expecting the best because it's not a blockbuster. The acting is ok. The dialog is a tad off and the writing is a bit off, it would have worked more if she wasn't playing a smart character. I say that because someone as smart as her would not have made the mistakes she did. It feels a little rushed. It could have been a better movie. And I think they should redo it.

boreing, generic
jklasdfghytmz25 August 2022
It seems like this movie had a 27$ budget, its the most generic hottot plot imaginable, the cinematography is uninspired, the colors and editing are distracting, i just don't get why this was created.

Ok tv thriller
jonsid578 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is a passable stalking thriller that does become a bit repetitive. Jen (Veronica Issa) meets a guy Mike ( Jack Pearson ) online and he won't take no for an an answer . He keeps showing up at her doorstep and she even sleeps with him one time despite hating him.

The film has some faults . All the people Jen seems to associate with are killed and she never seems to question where they are . Jen keeps saying she will get an intervention order against Mike but doesn't .

The performance by Jack Pearson as the psychopathic Mike is very good .

It's a ok tv movie which could have been better .
