Someone Is Watching

"Someone Is Watching" is a simple and very suspenseful movie that proves you don't need a lot of blood and gore to make a movie scary. It's been a long time since Stephanie Powers picked-up a gun and the years definitely were in her favor. She looked wonderful. It was also nice to see ex Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) play her pesty but lovable friend who lived down the street. I was a little disappointed in the person who played the stalker. Perhaps he was new at acting but he still was able to pull-it-off. The movie was also filmed in a small town in beautiful Quebec. If you feel like watching a suspenseful movie that has a lot to offer, then check this one out. I'm going to give it an 8 !

We were looking for a good old ghost movie, read that this one would be a bit like "The Haunted" from 1991, but we were so disappointed. The film starts off promisingly with some supernatural things happening but after a while we noticed that it was some kind of killer story instead, we thought the actors did a lousy role, the police behaved well but the others just played over the top.

No, this was a really bad choice of Friday movie, we were disappointed. It feels as though the lead actress, Stefanie Powers, was too old for this role and only got it because at the time the film was shot, she was still quite a well-known actor. Martin Neufeld gave a poor performance, he even looks affected in his scenes, maybe he really was. We rate this a three, it is absolutely not a ghost movie by any means.

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.

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.
