quite good

I didn't mind this film. It had a good plot but it could have been made a bit better. The acting wasn't real bad but again, it could have been a bit better by including some well-known actors. I was up one night and this was just about to start so I decided to watch it even though I had never heard of it and I got a pleasant surprise. I would give this film 5/10.

class brit drama

10/10 Quiet british TV movie about a writer who befriends a young publisher through a novel he's submitted. The unsuspecting publisher becomes hooked on the novel's graphic dictation of how to stalk and murder somebody, becoming himself, a stalker and potential murderer. To his horror the publisher discovers the book isn't a work of fiction but a set of instructions the writer has given him to follow.

One of the worst ever....

Sometimes you just sit back and are appalled at the drivel on screen. This is another bargain basement purchase from Acorn who continually insult their customers with laughable films and series.

This one should never have been released. Every character phones in a performance as if they too know they're only doing it for the paycheck. Peter Davison, he of Dr. Who and All Creatures.... is about the most bored of the bunch.

I have to say the old man is brilliant though. Creepy. But not enough to save this disaster.

1/10.

Pretty Poor

I've watched a lot of British series and movies. This movie is really dull, without any likable characters. Peter Davison is Not funny as he continues to emulate the Last Detective character. He also comes across as stupid. The whole script is terrible.
