Piège à minuit

This run-of-the-mill TV thriller has Mary Crosby as a television reporter hounded by an obsessed stalker. Problem is, no one else witnesses the stalkings and believes Cosby. In fact, they have good reason not to, as Crosby's mother went crazy and threw herself off the cliffs into the ocean near the family home years before, veiled in a black lace shawl as she appears in a portrait hanging in the house(hence the title). Is there really a stalker or is Crosby falling victim to the insanity that drove her mother to an early end? Can anyone who has seen even one movie like this not predict the ending? Okay, with some creepy atmosphere, but hardly anything new.

I recommend watching the original film - it's from 1960 starring Doris Day, Rex Harrison & Roddy McDowall. This remake is alright but lacks the thrills of the original film.

Here we have Mary Crosby in Doris Day's role. She is a television reporter and is being stalked by an obsessed man. The questions are: Why he is doing this? Is he wanting to kill her or drive her insane? Who is he? Is she going crazy? Is he a phantom/ghost?

This version is okay - worth watching on YouTube if you want something different for your viewing. Don't expect the quality of the Doris Day film but the film can still entertain to a degree.

4.5/10.
