Glen H Very dated early stalker entry with lots of downtime and meandering that just freezes the plot at a standstill. It's Eastwood in the early days figuring out how to weave a narrative, which he mastered in later years. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Jen O Great movie and cast. Kept me on the edge of my seat! Highly recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Jonathan O One of the scariest psychological stalker thriller of the 70's and this is before Fatal Attraction and Play Misty For Me is the og of Fatal Attraction and Clint Eastwood first director really outstanding on his directing debut and he really respects to the cast and crew and beautifully cinematography by Bruce Surtees. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Blu B An Eastwood Classic. For a first time directing it's a good effort overall. It's suprisingly prettyl cozy and easygoing pacing wise but good. It does keep your interest. The editing isn't bad but Eastwoods storytelling here is a bit jumpy. It can feel like stuff just happens bouncing around between the love triangle and the devlopment of relationships. Everything else though is pretty solid. The framing, lighting, and camerawork is good. The villian is good too. It's cut from the same cloth as Fatal Attraction & Misery but not as sharp as those films are. The film does always keep your interest and despite struggling to maintain suspense I'd say it gives way not to boredom but more just being very easygoing and vice versa. This isn't for everyone I'd say. If your a fan of stalker flicks, Eastwood as a director, or any actors in this than this is worth a watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review D P My attention was brought to this film because the main actress recently passed away. I loved her as a voice actress, and she's funny as a comedic actress. This film... there is a very good reason it was largely forgotten. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Space C Ignorance is bliss I suppose, words Dave (Eastwood) clearly lives by because he ignored all the obvious signs that Evelyn (Walter) is a psycho. I can excuse their first meet where she just so happens to run into him at the pub but knowing where he lived without him telling her? He goes off at her, barely, then sleeps with her anyway. Just one incident right after the other until his housemaid almost dies do the police get involved (because not once does he call them on her.) Then there's too long of a montage of him rekindling his relationship with Tobie (Mills) before they move forward with the plot because Evelyn gets out. Then there's more ignorance before finally, the ending. Could've gone without watching this one. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
