Watch View of Terror For Free

Too much of everything

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The 'victim' living in an expensive apartment block in a big city doesn't have drapes (curtains/blinds) in her apartment (until 30 minutes into the movie when she unsuccessfully tries to staple bedsheets over the windows) and chooses to walk around in a thong at night...give us a break! The blond bimbo boss with a heart of gold flashes her eyes at the Mick Jagger clone too often and the magazine reading security guard with the short tie and big hat is a parody of a parody. The other blond bimbo who only styles his hair when he goes outside is just TOO obvious. If you like: sideburns that don't reach the wig; armpit hair; guitar solo accompaniment to soft porn; breasts real and depicted in wall hangings/sculpture AND women with big feet and short trousers you will love this movie.

***SPOILERS*** Young and pretty magazine illustrator Celeste, Shannen Doherty, is stalked throughout the movie "Nightlight" by this shadowy and threatening phone caller who seems to know every move that she makes.It soon becomes obvious to Celeste that the person calling her lives across he street from her apartment building and tries to catch him in the act by spying, with a telescope, on him herself. With the help of the buildings-where the caller supposedly resides- doorman Derrek, Sean Tucker, Celeste finds in his apartment not only a telescope but a number of photos of herself, mostly scantly dressed, that the suspect David Jacobsen, Charles Edwin Powell, took of her with a telephoto lens.As it turns out David, who was arrested by the police, did have a large porno collection of DVD's and video tapes, which wasn't a crime, but swore that the photo's of Celeste found in his apartment weren't his. Later with David behind bars the caller continued to hearses Celeste proving that David, as he said all along, was innocent of the charges against him. Things got even more bizarre when Celeste's boyfriend, whom she earlier dumped, out of work actor Brent, Michal Francoeur, stating showing up around Celeste's apartment dressed in a jogging suit, with a hood, in order to protect her from her stalker. As it later turned out Brent needed Celeste, not the other way around, to not only protect him but save his life.Nothing really surprising her with both Canadian cities Montreal and Quebec subbing for New York City with Celeste's stalker, and threatening caller, being so obvious that he stuck out like a sore thumb before he even reveled himself. The movie's ending was a bit too contrived in that the so careful stalker, who had since graduated from just being an unwanted caller, completely blew his cover by coming out in the open and getting his hands on an unsuspecting Celeste.***SPOILERS***Not that surprising of an ending with the threatening phone caller and now kidnapper, of not only Celeste but her pet parrot Kiddy, coming out of the shadows and surprising almost no one but the very naive Celeste to who he really is. We get this big speech, in the phone calling psycho trying to explain his off-the-wall actions, from the deranged phone caller himself, in person not on the telephone. The guy goes on and on in how he's looked down upon by the rich and famous and treated like dirt by them and this, what he's doing to Celeste, is payback time! This in his unstable and warped mind is the reason that he made Celeste's life a living hell on earth! What I couldn't quite understand is why he picked on a working girl, who's having trouble paying her rent, like Celeste who didn't quite fit into that category?

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.

This was a true example of just how talented Shannen Doherty really is, her performance was astonishing and you really felt for her character in this movie, you could almost feel the fear and panic she felt, if you are a collector of her films this is a must to have. Even though this movie came out in 2003 is shows just how important certain subjects are to the Lifetime Network, this is by far one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, the main subject and its message on the seriousness on Stalking was really well represented in this movie and left you to wonder how far the justice system has come in the three years since this movie was made in correcting the issue.
