Young thing falls for older man who's just having fun. She's in it for keeps, and will not let go when he's done with her ... This movie hit home for me in many ways as I have suffered from attachment disorder for many years. I felt everything she did, and now that I've done the majority of emotional healing (mainly by using this movie), I can only watch it for the cringe factor. Not to say it isn't very well acted because it certainly is believable (tho' Shannen seems to have it down TOO pat, if you know what I mean).. I'd recommend it for its pure psychological value. It's not on a par with 'Fatal Attraction' if you want suspense and mood, but the movie is not bad.
Well if you are a Shannon fan I can highly recommend "Obsessed" co-starring William Devane with a new set of choppers. Plot goes something like A man in his 50s becomes locked in the grip of a dangerous lover young enough to be his daughter. She is f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c and she gets to wear really great pumps and natty suits with big shoulder pads. Its a fave of mine - so good in fact I have it saved to the set top box so I can watch it if I can't sleep. And the scene where she confronts him at the country club is so realistic your skin actually crawls with embarrassment and fear (fear because she is holding on to her Spalding mini learner racquet). Anyway - if it's another rainy day get it as well as well as the chance to see the enigmatic Shannon
Actually, for television, I found it to be a real "time passer". I mean, I could have cleaned my toilet or my toenails, but I was so amused at the fact that someone thought to pair Ms. Doherty with the renown Mr. Devane, that I found myself unusually drawn in. I know it wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't painful. If it's raining outside and you've got the flu and you can't find the remote and you're too weak to walk over to the television to turn the channel, I'd suggest this movie. As for me, I have to be honest. I've always thought William Devane was rather sexy so I probably would watch it again if it wasn't raining, I didn't have the flu and I could find the remote, but on a serious note, I didn't care for Doherty in the role, although she wasn't half bad. In short, it's bearable and slightly, yes, slightly entertaining.
Lori, played by Shannen Doherty is quite the nut-case. A stalking but beautiful trophy girlfriend. William Devane, who played Ed Bledsoe is the charming, way older, well to do horny bachelor. I'm sorry but the relationship between Bledsoe and Lori is just plain unlikely. Really, to see them together made my skin crawl. Devane is just way too old. I cannot see those two together in real life. Why would they put it on film? The acting really is mediocre. Not their best performances. The only decent actor is the daughter (Andy) whose name I cannot recall. The only thing that bugged me about her is that hair-do. What is that? Not a bad movie if you're home sick in bed but if there's something else on, maybe you should pass this one up.

Jonathan Sanger directed this murky film written by David E. Peckinpah. I found it very predictable and often tedious. Watching William Devane, looking well his age and a bit older, make love to a young thing was what I found silly and not real. The young thing, played by Shannen Doherty, was infatuated with him. You gotta be kidding. Okay, maybe he had the money. But his money isn't what she wanted. This I found hard to believe. I did like Clare Carey, who played Devane's daughter, the only real value in the picture. I felt the two leads deserved each other. Both losers. As to the acting, well, I'd give them a so-so, except for Carey, whom I liked. There are better films on this subject of obsession.

OK, I love the "psycho Chick" genre of movie....."Fatal Attraction", "The Crush"....etc, etc....This is definitely not one of those movies....It is however all you'd expect from a Shannon Doherty movie-of-the-week....The good news is that you can watch this one without thinking too much....Perfect way to end a long, hard day....It has really bad, cheesy dialog, and a plot you can figure out within the first 5 minutes of watching....And come on, it's Shannon Doherty doing what she does best....It's not "Fatal Attraction" and she isn't Glenn Close, but I watch this one every single time it's on....Is my IQ a little lower after watching it, probably.....But sometimes TV is supposed to be simple.
I have a weakness for 80s/90s made for TV movies, and this is one of my favourites. Shannen is great in it, it's not one of your typical Fatal Attraction rip-offs, it's got enough differences. Full of cheesy lines, "I want to feel you against me, loving me", classic. If you're looking for something to pass an hour and a half, I recommend this one!

This plot line is totally unbelievable- who would actually fall for this guy? I am sorry that I wasted ANY time on this made for tv movie. The only movie that I have seen that is worse stars Susan Lucci, and she can't act her way out of a paperbag, so that isn't saying much (French Silk). Anyway, DON"T see this.
This film has only one redeeming feature. It contains some extremely trite and hilariously cheesy montage footage of People Doing Things.
Apart from that, don't watch it. Do something, anything, else. Really, almost anything. Even cleaning your toenails. Twice.
You will save yourself a small part of your life.

I just could not believe that Shannon Doherty or any young woman would carry on about William Devane. I know your lead to believe she had daddy issues, but I didn't get it. Maybe if she had a bunch or rats at her place like the movie 'Willard' I'd get it. The acting is decent enough though the love scenes were sort of gross. I liked William Devane in 'Marathon Man' & 'Testament', but come on now! Basically it's like like Fatal Attraction, or Play Misty For Me if you just make it young girl, older guy. The way she keeps trying and trying to win Devane's heart is all too much. I always liked Shannon from her Beverly Hills, 90210 days and felt the show sunk down when she left, I thought she'd make more of her career afterwords, but then again, who on that show did?
