Amor de Obsessão

With this movie, the girl-stalked-by-obsessive-boyfriend genre seem to be filled, together with _No One Would Tell (1996) (TV)_ (qv). It would have been interesting to know why Billy Jones acted the way he did, a deeper answer than that he is simply crazy. Tori Spelling does another one of her blonde-in-danger roles.

This movie is about Tori Spelling who has had a lot of troubles in her life. She was anorexic, and is an obsessive runner. Then she meets this guy, who makes her feel special. Little does she know, he's actually an abusive, overprotective boyfriend who isn't afraid to resort to murder. The acting wasn't great, and the script wasn't exactly original. Spelling plays the dumb blonde who only in the end suspects something's up with her creepy beau. Out of 5 stars? 2 and a half. It was stupid, but it was a little entertaining, and put you on the edge of your seat.

Mother, May I Sleep with Danger (1996) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a controlling, abusive, murdering young man who struggles with the word "no" and his girlfriends not aligning to his visions for the relationship. He meets a young lady who doesn't have a lot of experience with boyfriends but appreciates a man who knows what he wants. When she meets the controlling, abusive young man, she doesn't understand what he truly means when he says they should be together forever, no matter what...

This picture is directed by Jorge Montesi (Omen IV: The Awakening) and stars Tori Spelling (Scary Movie 2), Ivan Sergei (Dangerous Minds), Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie) and Lisa Banes (Gone Girl).

This feels like a made for television movie in terms of its cast, circumstances, dialogue and message. I will say the storyline and circumstances feel realistic, especially how when it's the relationship vs the parents moments. It's too bad the acting is so uneven. Ivan Sergei is absolutely awful and every lines and situation feels forced. Tori Spelling character you both for sorry for but also frustrated with for being so gullible. The thriller/horror elements are more miss that hit. The first kill scene is set up well but should have been better executed. The isolation aspects with the cabin are pretty well done. The ending is very predictable.

In conclusion, Mother, May I Sleep with Danger does have some good messages, but could have been better executed. I'd score it a 5/10 and only recommend it with the appropriate expectations.

Thank goodness for a father with lots of money who happens to be an influential producer in the make believe world of entertainment. It works well if one happens to be Tori Spelling, an ambitious young woman, who could be better off spending her idle hours around Rodeo Drive shopping and doing lunch with the rich and famous in all those ritzy places nearby.

With this new appearance Ms. Spelling assures herself a niche in the stratosphere of camp. One has to give it to the girl, she gets to wear all those cute outfits while in the throes of love and betrayal. "Mother, May I Sleep in Danger" could be subtitled as "The Tori Show". Let's hope we are spared of another masterpiece starring Ms. Spelling in the near future, but alas, that's probably impossible, because in her ambition for bigger and better things, she probably will keep turning up in vehicles such as this one forever.

Where to begin. Tori is gloriously bad as cutey blonde girl whose boyfriend may be a **bit** weird. Of course her mother spots this and Weird Boyfriend turns into a drooling manic axe murderer. I howled with laughter as the plot (of which there is nothing much to say) turned from predictable over awful to really bad. The highlight is Tori escaping from the Drooling Manic Axe murderer Boyfriend in a canoe -- and it is obvious that she has no clue as how to paddle. Poor girl doesn't get anywhere -- but Mommy saves the day. Grab some popcorn and sit down to watch a movie so dreadful that it ought to be shown as a cult movie.
