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.

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.

This was actually a very good "lifeless" movie (that is what my husband calls them). He woke up in the middle and was actually watching. I don't know what there is about Shannen Dougherty but I think she is a very good actress..I really do. She leaves her lover because they are constantly fighting and gets her own apartment in downtown NY and her nightmares begin. Someone is stalking her via telescope from the apartment building across the street. Horrible, disguised, scary phone calls to her are creepy.! I have to admit she does everything possible to try and get out of her situation. Let's just say I watch a lot of Lifetime movies and this one has some twists and turns that keep you guessing!

Okay, who ever said that Shannen Doherty is only a television movie actress was wrong when they said that, but they were even more wrong when they said that the movies she made were bad. Sure television movies are kind of tacky, but this one was an exception. Shannen Doherty portrays Celeste, a resturante owner who moves to a posh New York apartment and immediatly falls prey to a stalker. As usual, Shannen Donherty gives a powerhouse performance and the rest of the cast is equally fine. The music keeps you on the edge while suprisingly good camera work draws your emotions in. Set in a standard tone, this film does not let up, but what would you expect from a Shannendo film!

i found the beggining of this film particularly moving as the performance given by shannon was excellent if anything that made up for the somewhat dubiouse story line and directing.also this film itself at times held the viewers only because of the presence of suspence and acting that took place by about 2 good actors in the whole film.
