Hoyt Hilsman Variety 02/01/2018
Formulaic drama based on the true story of Richard Farley ... combines woman-in-jeopardy and mass-killer genres into a predictable and often gruesome concoction that has little to offer other than gratuitous violence. Go to Full Review

Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life May 19 Also known as Stalking Laura. This was a really good movie based on the true Story. The performances of brooke shields and Richard Thomas were really good. I'm glad this movie lead to stronger laws in California and eventually Nation wide. They didn't waste time and jumped right into the creeper Mr Farley.

Gripping tale of an independent, headstrong college grad, finding her way in the engineering field - all while dealing with an obsessive coworker who brazenly follows her around town for months on end.

And it’s loosely based on a true story, which is cool so, watchable bad movie. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 02/11/2024 I defy you to find me a worse performance than Richard Thomas in this TV movie. When I saw the description of John Boy Walton himself stalking former Calvin Klein jeans model Brooke Shields as an engineer in Silicon Valley, I knew the results probably weren't going to be pretty. But I wasn't prepared for the sheer ineptitude in every possible way. And the fact that it's based on a true story makes it nearly impossible to enjoy in a so-bad-it's-good mentality, although I have to admit there are moments of such atrocity that I did experience a moment or two of bad movie glee. I know I picked on Thomas up front, but the acting in the whole movie is shockingly bad, almost like something you'd see in a work training video. And after recent events, watching Thomas walk into a gun store, buy an arsenal of guns and ammunition and shoot up an office building for what felt like hours left a really bad taste in my mouth. I really wanted to relish all the ineptitude but, like I said, when you realize this actually happened, it just didn't feel right. The victims deserved better. A schlocky movie is a schlocky movie, whether or not you put "based on a true story" before the opening credits.

Well, get a shovel. lol Great perfomance by Richard Thomas. Amazing the strength and naturality? Brooke Shields gives to her character! See more Read all reviews
