View of Terror

better than average lifetime movie network fair. Shannon Dougherty prooves she's can act, and not just eye candy. A woman needs space from her overly jealous boyfriend and moves into a 1 bedroom condo , low and behold she is stalked the same night that she moves in,, except here we are presented with several possible killers,, so it is a good who dunnit kinda movie.. there isn't much sex in this movie, not too much violence, this is kinda a voyeuristic movie with cameras , telescopes,, pictures that kinda thing,, it seems as though this movie is told through the eye's of the voyeur,, because you always see those shots of the killer watching the girl through the telescope, overall though it is not a bad movie , and better than the usual stuff on lifetime.

I watched this movie because I wanted to see Shannen Doherty, but when I saw it, I found this movie is very similar with "Someone's Watching Me (1978)", almost exactly the same, I already knew what's gonna happen next and next..., so I really disappointed, I didn't get any thrills at all. I don't know if this movie is an official remake or not, but if it's not, then this is a total rip-off. There's only two differences that makes this movie different from "Someone Watching Me (1978)", first, this movie is happened in modern time, so the stalker uses hidden camera now (not just sound transmission device), and oh, the stalking is done by different character, that's the only (small) thing that made me surprised at the end of movie.

Actually because of that, I wanted to give this movie a 1 star, but since I'm Shannen Doherty fans I decide to give 5 stars (yes I know I have pretty shallow reason to rate, but there it is).

While this 2003 movie from director Louis Bélanger might not be overly known, it actually turned out to be an enjoyable movie.

And yes, it has Shannen Doherty in the lead role, but she definitely is much more than stuck in the Brenda Walsh role from the "Beverly Hill 90210" TV show. Sure, she might not make major blockbusters, but she actually is enjoyable to watch in movie. And while the movies she appears in might not always be super great, this 2003 movie was actually quite good.

The storyline is straightforward and has a nice archetypical feel to it, in terms of how stalker movies go. I might actually dare to say that it felt like watching a thriller from the height of the 90s. Take that as you will.

I was definitely adequately entertained by the events that took place throughout the story told in "View of Terror". However, this is hardly a movie that you will watch more than once.

While there isn't an abundance of familiar actors or actresses on the cast list, it should be said that the acting performances put on throughout the course of the movie by the various performers were actually good.

My rating of "View of Terror" is a five out of ten stars.

OK that's what if felt like to me. Right from the beginning the acting and the whole atmosphere of this film made it look like a late night porn film without the porn.

It was probably something to do with the actors who all looked like they had been drafted in from the set of Lucy does Dallas or Majorca or whatever (or whoever) Lucy is doing at the moment.

Once I got into it it wasn't bad actually. The story kind of hooked me and I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from the obviously low budget it was quite enjoyable to watch. It was like a whodunnit with a twist, the twist being the fact that nobody has been killed.

This is not the best film ever made but it kept my interest.

This film is an enjoyable, easy-to-follow mystery drama. It revolves around Celeste (Shannen Doherty), a beautiful young woman who moves out to a nice new flat after breaking up with her somewhat aggressive boyfriend. Shortly afterwards, she'll begin to be harassed by a stalker who's apparently watching and following her.

The plot is not complicated but it isn't quite as predictable as one might think, and the story moves on without any major complications. It does get repetitive in the middle part, as it becomes a dangerous cat-and-mouse game between Celeste and her stalker, in her efforts to chase him down by herself; however, it never gets boring and it kept my interest until the ending. The acting is good and the movie, while not being complex, is very entertaining and set in very chic environments. Definitely an above average TV movie. Shannen Doherty's fans must see it too.
