This is definitely a movie you want to skip. The storyline in itself isn't a bad idea. However the execution of it was terrible. You have a woman who is weak and not the most likable character. A guy fixated on her. A police force who first arrest her for assault as she was defending herself and 1 second they are making it seem like she's making it up but then, before u could blink, female cop comes in saying charges have been dropped and now he was being held. The male cop in the room who was still writing her statement acting like she's the criminal turns around and starts sympathizing with her. I mean there wasn't even a break in his writing. A complete 180 that left u with your mouth open. It got worse from there. Everyone around her are going out of their way to protect her. Yet she does nothing to help herself. And even goes as far as to get insulted when an alarm system is bought for her. Which they never set up. Jump ahead to the "climax"...... There wasn't one. Oh they caught the guy and so forth. But the way they did was so boring and such a let down that I started rewriting the final 15 min in my head so I didn't feel so cheated. These kind of stories you need to have the audience love the victim and hate the unsub. In this movie you felt nothing for neither and couldn't care one way or the other what happened. If your looking for something to do I highly recommend picking the fuzz out of your belly button rather then watch this movie.

A great TV Movie that is extremely well acted by all concerned with a very sound plot that doesn't pull any punches while tackling a difficult subject matter is how I would describe this little gem.Starring Amanda Righetti as Casey Cooper who has her life turned around when she becomes the victim of a 'stalker'. She changes from an outgoing, extrovert and confident to a young lady who is afraid to venture outside or far from her home whilst receiving the statutory hate mail and endless 'phone-calls that the Police appear to have no power OR to her and her friends NO WILL to stop. This film drives on from start-to-finish and I guarantee will have you 'supporting' poor Casey and her friends as they fight against the seeming in-action of the local Police and her 'stalker' until they are unsure which exactly is the worst of the two? A brilliant support cast includes Will Estes,Harry Hamlin, Christie Burson and Eric Smzanda

I notice this is is called SHADOW OF FEAR but when it was broadcast in Britain it was called DANGEROUS ATTRACTION a title that indicates i's going to be a clone of a very famous film from the 1980s so SHADOW OF FEAR is probably a more appropriate title . What is also interesting is that the site doesn't indicate it's a TVM . This certainly has all the feel of a chick flick TVM of having a woman stalked by a male hence the woman's trauma is the centre of the film's focus . It's unfortunate that that her stalker is a young man suffering from schziophrenia which means anyone watching this movie who has no knowledge of real life mental illness might jump to the wrong conclusion all schizophrenics are violent people . In reality a person suffering from this psychotic illness is 40 times more likely to kill themselves than another human being . In thisrespect SHADOW OF FEAR is offensive in its portrayal of mental illness whilst at the same time being inoffensive in every other aspect which again leads me to believe it's a TVM , one that's not worth watchingfor the most part

The best thing about this movie is Will Estes, I've always enjoyed him. He was excellent as the creepy and crazy Morgan. I think he really brought the character to life. The movie in general was pretty good, it really kept me on the edge of my seat. I would have like to have seen a little more build up to Morgan's obsession with Casey, it was just way too fast, and could have been more dramatic. Obviously there was no real reason for Morgan to be so obsessed with her, but they could have stoked the flames a little better. The ending was a little cheesy, but I would suggest watching this movie if you really want to see the toll that stalking can take.
