Acerca deste filme

Sarah Jefferson (Ormston) is happily married to Andrew. They have two children: Kirsten (11) and Michael (9). Sarah is being stalked - but does not know it. Her stalker Nigel (Savin) is a sinister and intelligent loner with a command of both forensics and electronics, and a pathological need to control.

Sarah works in a florists. Nigel buys flowers each day, only to destroy them in an initial display of an anger that manifests to show the true psychopathy of his character. Using his skills to augment the execution of his crimes Nigel embroils in a degree of control that extends far beyond Sarah to include her family and the police.

Nigel plans to abduct Sarah. His attention to detail involves a subterfuge that leaves little doubt in people's minds that Sarah and Andrew's relationship was on the rocks. So compelling is his manipulation of reality that even Sarah and Andrew doubt each other in a way that was previously inconceivable.

Andrew is pushed to the edge. This in turn leaves him vulnerable to exploitation. A fact not ignored in this gripping drama that contains twists to the end.

A really good thriller/drama. It has a slow start as we get to know the family but after that the terror begins. The dialogue is slick & delightful. A friend of mine recommended this movie & I was in 2 minds after seeing some of the negative reviews but realising these reviewers had only watched 20 mins or so I gave it a chance & boy am I pleased I did. The creepy, twisted villain, Nigel, played so delightfully by Jason Savin, is full of pure evil, most of it aimed at his poor victim (Amy Ormston). The acting was so real at times I felt pulled into the movie. As others have said -this movie will stay with you long after it has finished. Savin really has created a memorable screen villain.

This tells the story of a lovely family whose mom is stalked and then abducted. The sinister character that does this makes it seem that she has left them for someone else. It seems incredible that anyone would believe this but they do and the thing is the movie is well written and this makes it so believable. In fact it is so believable that it creates great tension and keeps you guessing as to what will happen. There are a few twists as well that ad to it. I have watched it twice and enjoyed it (if that is the word) just as much the second time round.

If you like horror films and like to be scared, you wont be disappointed. This has got to be one of the creepiest films I've seen in a long time, if not ever. The acting was solid, story compelling, the pace was just right and most of all, it was really entertaining. The idea of being stalked and not knowing who the stalker may be is a very scary concept. My cousin was on the edge of her seat the whole time. There are lots of twists and turns and I was not expecting that ending! I only wish we could have seen this in a movie theater, surrounded by other people, to hear the gasps and amplify the experience even more. We won't be sleeping any time soon. Anyone who likes this genre should put it on their must see lists of scary films.
