Fascinação mortal 2

This was not the best movie ever made but it was very entertaining. This was the first of two sequels so far. There was something going on all the time. Not much down time at all. There were a number of plot holes and dumb moments, but you could say that about most movies. As the bad guy, Eric Roberts is good. His little fantasies were effective (and they were made even better in the second sequel.) The overall acting was pretty good. I liked the sets and locations they used. Typical Hollywood, but still nice. They could make a whole series of these Stalking Doctor movies!

Edge on your seat movie. Scary funny Watch each sequel.

Eric Roberts is really, really good as this character. Creepy deepy doo. Not quite as good as the original but much better than average LMFC. There are unique thoughtful or funny elements that make this series a cut above most lifetime movies. One such element in this show was the TV sequence where the TV show is mirroring what is going on in the movie. That was classic!

I was thinking that they could make a series out of this, and I have found out they did! Looking forward to watching more. No faux pas to report, except when the doctor answers his fiance's phone, he is able to delete messages and send a text, having unrestricted access to the phone just from the phone ringing. That's not the way password protected phones work these days.

About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

Not an A movie but high quality B. Very fun to watch. Great acting. Better than most people would expect. It's a simple plot with some twists. Keeps your attention. Great if you do not have too high expectations.

Eric Roberts clearly has quite a bit of fun with his outrageous part as a more or less insane faux doctor who decides to seduce a widow in order to get closer to her teenage daughter. The film is more proud than ashamed of its B-movie legacy, which is good because it gives it that ironic distance needed for this to be fun - for a while. Arguably limited by TV censorship rules, the film manages to be simultaneously kinky and asexual. It's like a family version of a cross between Basic Instinct and Lolita. Also with Claire Blackweder, Hilary Greer, Mark Grossman and Christopher Crabb. Written and directed by Doug Campbell.
