Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Oh my... there's nothing freakier seeing the man who played the adult Bill from the 1990's film IT taking on the role of a pervy computer engineer! Laura Black is a beautiful, self-confident graduate heading to Silicon Valley (although the scenery in the background looks more Eastern United States than Western), to be a successful computer engineer. She immediately befriends her co-workers and landlord, and meets an awkwardly nice guy, Rich, who she at first really likes. When Laura makes it clear that they're going to remain just friends, Rich quickly changes for the creepy, and next thing you know he's shooting up the corporate office buildings and murdering Laura's colleagues one by one! The soundtrack brought to mind movies and TV such as The Tower (1993), The Secret World of Alex Mack (1995-1998) and The Brave Little Toaster (1987). The whole film was like a homage to 90's corporate culture. One could even consider it a slasher film with Rich's body count and creepiness; the actor pulled off the role extremely well. Laura's character was played well, as was the landlord's. Stalking Laura had a few sad moments, such as the poor guy who gets shot and hides in the bathroom, only to start bleeding to death and get shot to death when Rich discovers his hiding place. I wouldn't recommend it to kids, but for adults it's highly entertaining. It even has its comedic moments.I can see myself viewing this film again, for a Lifetime TV movie it was surprisingly amazing and freaky.

Bludmagnus ****WARNING- THIS REVIEW CONTAINS POTENTIAL SPOILERS**** I remember hearing about the real story on the news my first year of high school, especially how people followed the story afterward on and off till the final phase of the trial. Having said that, anyone giving this movie an over critical review really needs to take a look within themselves.While Brooke Shields and Richard Thomas are the stars of this tele-film, the support of the ensemble cast that gives it an even stronger foundation. While liberties were taken with more minor things in comparison to the main thrust of the saga, a number of them were psychologically geared to cover ground on the way far too many viewers took the ridiculously naive positions that either Laura Black led Richard Farley on or that she was "misunderstanding the situation.Even dismissing those things, as well as the comparison of "John Boy" in the role of a disturbed man who was in real life "built like a bear", the heart of the movie is about how a delusional personality can go that intensely spiraling out of control. A man who went from being self-disciplined enough to spend an entire decade in the military to the first ever stalking-connected workplace massacre all because he believed people "thought he was weak" or "a joke" doesn't make anyone feel sorry for Richard Wade Farley, and it shouldn't because it can't. That he "never had a criminal record" nor "committed a single act of violence before" (that is according to his defense at the time...)casts him in an even more despicable light as it spotlights more what he always was: an abusive bully who mastered the mask he wore all of those years looking for the right target.Laura was portrayed as having said "What did I do?" when she was loaded in the ambulance. The film, and how it ends, gives that answer: Laura Black didn't do anything, except be the perfect target for a disturbed sociopath who, even if she HAD agreed to the "one date", would NEVER have let her go. The frightening part is that the way it really turned out made the body count a hell of a lot smaller than it would have been if she HADN'T been that strong to fight him.

MarieGabrielle This type of film could seem over-the-top, but thanks to a believable performance by Richard Thomas, and a surprisingly decent performance by Brooke Shields, the viewer is interested in the story, and not distracted by personalities.You will see some interesting information regarding stalking, as well. For example, when Thomas speaks to Penny (human resources) who divulges Laura's personal information (including her birthday, residence and family information). This film was made in 1993, and I was surprised that the company was not held liable for Laura's problems with this man.As this is based on a true story, we see Richard Thomas gradually unraveling as he stalks Laura (Shields), he seems initially harmless, then obsessed. The breaking point occurs when he is fired. He has, he says to his friends, nothing to lose, and starts asking if the office is protected with bullet-proof glass. His co-workers laugh, thinking this is a joke.This is an interesting and true story, which is well-presented. 9/10

Taran-4 This movie was fun to watch because I get to see Brooke Shields. I didn't know it was her till later but I loved the movie even then. I don't think Brooke Shields' acting was bad. She just had to play the role of the victimized women. She did seem kind of cold though. In real life, she should have given the guy a chance. Go out just one date. But then, Richard was extreme in his actions. He should just find another girl. So I don't think he really loved her. He was just obsessed. But don't analyze everything too much. Just watch it. :)
