Time Warner's synopsis indicated that the Catherine Hicks character, who owned the business the victim worked for, was the stalker. Or, would the synopsis be written by LMN? I enjoyed the movie, except for the 50% TV ad time, which is common for any network these days, including sports where they have TV time-outs. No coach or player can call THAT many time-outs. That really ruins the continuity of the game and irritates the players and coaches, but it's the 'ME' age, all for the bottom line (ex: A&E and 'Duck Dynasty').
Catherine Hicks was hardly noticeable in this film. She has aged considerably since she portrayed Kathleen Turner's best friend in 'Peggy Sue Got Married,' 1986 (title based upon an obscure, but good, Buddy Holly song). Of course, I look older than I did in 1986 as well, but Catherine looks like she had a stroke along the way. I just lost my hair as most men of 72 do. I would guess Catherine Hicks is only in her early 50's unless she wasn't a teenager in 1986. I'll check out her bio.
As for the film, it was good seeing Harry Hamlin long after his starring role in the legendary 'Clash of the Titans.' He has aged gracefully.
The stalker was the best actor in the film. I know my review doesn't cover much of the film's content, direction, acting, etc. but what else can I say about LMN? It was a slow night for TV - no local sports teams in action. That would comprise the contrary male network, i.e. sports ARE (ESPN,Fox Sports, etc.) are the male networks.

This movie is great. I watched it twice and its such a well done, responsible portrayal at a very real issue. Righetti did an amazing job at showing the emotional plight that stalking can do not only to the victim, but everyone around them. I also can't say enough good things about Will Estes performand and how well he captured the role of the stalker, and harmful it can be for people to overlook the psychological side of it. The cast did an amazing job, and keep in mind this is based on a true story, and they handled this issue so responsibly, and it's just a damn good thriller.
I notice this is is called SHADOW OF FEAR but when it was broadcast in Britain it was called DANGEROUS ATTRACTION a title that indicates i's going to be a clone of a very famous film from the 1980s so SHADOW OF FEAR is probably a more appropriate title . What is also interesting is that the site doesn't indicate it's a TVM . This certainly has all the feel of a chick flick TVM of having a woman stalked by a male hence the woman's trauma is the centre of the film's focus . It's unfortunate that that her stalker is a young man suffering from schziophrenia which means anyone watching this movie who has no knowledge of real life mental illness might jump to the wrong conclusion all schizophrenics are violent people . In reality a person suffering from this psychotic illness is 40 times more likely to kill themselves than another human being . In thisrespect SHADOW OF FEAR is offensive in its portrayal of mental illness whilst at the same time being inoffensive in every other aspect which again leads me to believe it's a TVM , one that's not worth watchingfor the most part
Long & ponderous and anti-climatic. The lead actress is fine & will no doubt have better roles in the future.
A great TV Movie that is extremely well acted by all concerned with a very sound plot that doesn't pull any punches while tackling a difficult subject matter is how I would describe this little gem.Starring Amanda Righetti as Casey Cooper who has her life turned around when she becomes the victim of a 'stalker'. She changes from an outgoing, extrovert and confident to a young lady who is afraid to venture outside or far from her home whilst receiving the statutory hate mail and endless 'phone-calls that the Police appear to have no power OR to her and her friends NO WILL to stop. This film drives on from start-to-finish and I guarantee will have you 'supporting' poor Casey and her friends as they fight against the seeming in-action of the local Police and her 'stalker' until they are unsure which exactly is the worst of the two? A brilliant support cast includes Will Estes,Harry Hamlin, Christie Burson and Eric Smzanda
