Stalked by a Prince

I actually enjoy these American/Canadian films about the British Royals or aristocrisy. They clearly do no research or know anything about the Royal Family.

Whilst the actors who were cast as British did quite good British accents, so many things were wrong. The Prince went to America, only accompanied by his bodyguard, no butler or any other entourage.

The fictional royal home in the English countryside was clearly a hotel, the architecture was all wrong. Initially I thought it might be Eastern European, but I believe it was filmed in Canada. Even all the room doors either side of the corridor were obviously guest rooms and the entrance looked like the foyer of a hotel too.

At one point we see the mentally disturbed prince remove his shirt to see slash marks on his chest, this wasn't explained. Did he receive them as a result of an assault or were they self-inflicted?

At one point the Prince places a listening device on the phone of his victim, to the end of the film she never discovered this. There is also no explanation as to what is wrong with the Prince, except to say he was not taking his prescribed medication.

The film was mildly entertaining and amusing, but the usual made for tv type film.

Watched this as the idea initially sounded interesting. The usual American actor playing someone English, with a posh version of a"mockney" accent, initially hilarious, but then as tedious as this far-fetched story which was dragged out for as long as possible. Would have given it one star but for the best line in it, which had me laughing for several minutes: "There's a pub not far from here - they serve a mean Devilled Kidney, I'm told".

I hoped for a good thriller, but this wasnt it. While the story was okay, the acting was bad and so cheesy. It became too predictable of what was going to happen next. Could have been better!

Alyssa Banks (Natalie Hall) is a publicist living an ordinary life in the city. But that all changes when she meets someone special at a work party: Prince Jack (Jonathan Keltz), the Earl of Northshire. At the urging of her best friend, Alyssa chats with Jack and is quickly swept up by his charming allure. Having just gone through a bad breakup, someone like Jack is just who Alyssa is looking for. He whisks her off to Northshire - but soon her fairytale romance is going to turn into a nightmare as our Bonny prince isn't all that he seems.

It's obvious that the prince isn't right upstairs, but the beautiful heroine played by Natalie Hall goes ga-ga over him. We know that he's unstable, doesn't take his pills and suffers from an obsessive behaviour. This, of course, spirals out of control as we get a woman in danger scenario.

This is a decent thriller, much more exciting than reading the real-life tales of Harry and Meghan in the daily Rags. There's some genuine tension, a sense of danger- and it ends satisfactory. Jonathan Keltz excels as the psychotic prince - Natalie Hall looks suitably happy then distressed. The "terror" music can be grating on ones nerves.

This is Natalie Hall and Jonathan Keltz's sophomoric pairing since "Fit for a Prince" and they have graduated from Hallmark-saccharine to thriller-hardcore(sorta)! The film tells a story of how a resourceful girlboss falls for, becomes trapped by, and eventually saves herself from a psychopathic lover prince.

In terms of it as a thriller, Stalked by a Prince has a fittingly intense score and a serviceable plotline. Though I find the film's portrayal of Prince Jack's psychopath personalities to be quite on the nose and sometimes one-dimensional, Jonathan Keltz's dedicated acting does add layers and depths to his character. Natalie Hall is equally brilliant, especially in the third act where her character Alyssa faces off with her evil lover. The film also gives a brief yet appreciable commentary on mass media sensationalism.

This film is definitely flawed but does have its bright spots. I came into this with doubt but in the end, I found myself enjoying it much more than I expected.
