View of Terror (2003)

That was an excellent one.

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.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I watched this movie because I wanted to see Shannen Doherty, but when I saw it, I found this movie is very similar with "Someone's Watching Me (1978)", almost exactly the same, I already knew what's gonna happen next and next..., so I really disappointed, I didn't get any thrills at all. I don't know if this movie is an official remake or not, but if it's not, then this is a total rip-off. There's only two differences that makes this movie different from "Someone Watching Me (1978)", first, this movie is happened in modern time, so the stalker uses hidden camera now (not just sound transmission device), and oh, the stalking is done by different character, that's the only (small) thing that made me surprised at the end of movie.Actually because of that, I wanted to give this movie a 1 star, but since I'm Shannen Doherty fans I decide to give 5 stars (yes I know I have pretty shallow reason to rate, but there it is).

OK that's what if felt like to me. Right from the beginning the acting and the whole atmosphere of this film made it look like a late night porn film without the porn.It was probably something to do with the actors who all looked like they had been drafted in from the set of Lucy does Dallas or Majorca or whatever (or whoever) Lucy is doing at the moment.Once I got into it it wasn't bad actually. The story kind of hooked me and I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from the obviously low budget it was quite enjoyable to watch. It was like a whodunnit with a twist, the twist being the fact that nobody has been killed.This is not the best film ever made but it kept my interest.

This film is an enjoyable, easy-to-follow mystery drama. It revolves around Celeste (Shannen Doherty), a beautiful young woman who moves out to a nice new flat after breaking up with her somewhat aggressive boyfriend. Shortly afterwards, she'll begin to be harassed by a stalker who's apparently watching and following her.The plot is not complicated but it isn't quite as predictable as one might think, and the story moves on without any major complications. It does get repetitive in the middle part, as it becomes a dangerous cat-and-mouse game between Celeste and her stalker, in her efforts to chase him down by herself; however, it never gets boring and it kept my interest until the ending. The acting is good and the movie, while not being complex, is very entertaining and set in very chic environments. Definitely an above average TV movie. Shannen Doherty's fans must see it too.

Shannen Doherty stars as Celeste, a woman who moves into a new apartment after separating from her lover. Soon after, she receives numerous threatening phone calls from an unknown stalker. Perpetually tormented by the stalker, Celeste solicits help from various sources in an effort to put an end to the harassment.Charles Powell, Michel Francoeur, and Sean Tucker co-star with Doherty and they give an excellent performance. Doherty looks great and the production values in this one are pretty good.I recommend View Of Terror--I saw it on Lifetime back in 2003, and I just saw it again tonight on Lifetime Movie Network. This is one you can watch again and again.
