Quelque chose demeure ici

I just finished watching this movie. They lost me when she was reading a book (paper book) in the bathtub...Really! Would anyone, including a child, take a paper book to read in the tub. And to make this even more unbelievable, she falls asleep or passes out, whatever, and the book goes in the water. Could anyone not predict this happening. The writers really made a stupid stretch here. This otherwise was a pretty good movie. Sometimes I think I should be a movie writer. I certainly could come up with something more believable than this book in tub thing. I honestly see movies every day that suffer from poor writing and this was certainly one of them.

This is a spooky TV movie about a woman and her young son who has just moved into a new house. The son develops a relationship with an "imaginary" friend who lives in his closet, and people around them start to die mysteriously. This gives the audience a good dose of mystery and horror, leaving you wondering who did it and if the "imaginary" friend has any connection to it. Even the title of the movie gives you a creepy feeling.

It's a somewhat exciting movie from start to finish, with descent acting, though, some of the dialog and language were forced. Barry Flatman as the lead's boyfriend was annoying. But I thought Margot Kidder gave a convincing performance as the pesky but helpful neighbor who plays an important role in solving the mystery.

It's overall entertaining for a TV movie.

Grade B.

In SOMEONE IS WATCHING, Michelle Dupre (Stefanie Powers) and her young son move into a new home. They barely settle in before they're plagued by a creepy neighbor. Mystery and suspense build, and Michelle's son discovers an "imaginary friend' in his closet.

Margot Kidder costars as Michelle's kooky friend, Sally. Together, they make this made-for-TV offering quite enjoyable, right up to the final, bloody confrontation...

i thought that Stephanie Powers, and Margot Kidder did both an excellent job in this movie,, i really thought that it was an absolute steal at the 1 dollar price, i would have bought it for 10 , it's that good i think. you look at the premise.. you have you're suspects the boyfriend,, the landlords son. hmm maybe the guy from last time,, you just don't know, you have classic kid playing in closet, so you know that there 's something there ball comes back to kid. there was a kind of intensity to this film that you just don't see anymore from Hollywood. i was absolutely glued to my seat the whole movie by this one. then you have the cop trying to help her with the situation,this movie is way better than some of the schlock that Hollywood has come out with recently. so i give this one a big thumbs up. it's not perfect, but pretty close.

A typical film of suspense without great actors. Nothing more than this. I did not expect much from this movie, therefore i did not disappoint myself. My rate is 6 out of 10.
