I first saw this movie when it first came out and I was still in the Army. I enjoyed it then, probably because of Morgan Fairchild but recently saw it again and decided to comment on it, especially after I read some peoples negative reviews.This movie in my opinion delivers with its plot. There is no doubt that Morgan is being stalked and there is no doubt that the stalker has every intention of getting to Morgan. I thought Morgan Fairchild was very good in this movie, especially when you consider that she was a lot more of an inexperienced actress at the time this movie was made. Andrew Stevens was very good as the stalker and the rest of the cast was fine.You could certainly remake this movie with a bigger budget and get a very good movie. This movie is not a classic but its certainly a watchable movie. Watching this movie you will get into the plot and you will be wondering what the stalker is going to do next.

I must say that I had my share of reservations going into David Schmoeller's The Seduction regarding a disturbed "erotomaniac" stalking a popular newscaster, but I was pleasantly surprised at it's quality in regards to the fabulous look and better-than-expected acting.Mac Ahlberg's photographic work and Lalo Schifrin's score really enhance the mood of The Seduction and Morgan Fairchild has never been as beautiful or enchanting as she is here in this movie. I was quite impressed with a young, handsome Andrew Stevens(..whose cold, dark eyes are well utilized)as Fairchild's tormenting stalker. There's a chilling scene where he wipes the blood from a knife he had just buried into a victim's back, cutting away pieces of apple, slowly chewing as if savoring every taste. Stevens makes for a really unsettling creep, his good looks actually adding something extra to his psychopath. The luxurious locations(..such as Fairchild's palatial mansion and pool)in LA also add a great deal of vogue and splendor establishing the allure of affluence and wealth.Some nice supporting turns include Michael Sarrazin as Fairchild's reporter lover who becomes fed up with Stevens' intrusive ways, Vince Edwards as the cop they turn to for help(..who tells them that his hands are tied due to Stevens having not committed a "real crime"), and Colleen Camp(..at the peak of her sexiness)as Fairchild's brassy commercial actress pal. Kevin Brophy is a fellow station co-worker of Fairchild's.I guess if I had to pick a favorite scene it'd be Fairchild's bath as Stevens peeps on her from a closet, sweating away as she strokes / caresses her body. Pretty violent conclusion as the heated confrontation ensues with Stevens attempting to force Fairchild into a sexual scenario(..this is where we watch as Stevens delusion shatters when Fairchild turns the tables psychologically against him). Wendy Smith Howard has a small but pivotal role as a woman enamored with Stevens, rejected by him when she attempts to express her love to him. Not a flattering view of the police as Fairchild and Sarrazin's pleas for protection are met with little assistance. Actually a film ahead of it's time in regards to the invasion of a public figure's privacy, before the internet / reality show boom. Fairchild's beauty is well captured throughout, and the camera simply adores her.

This movie cracks me up! I saw it way back when it came out in the early eighties. This is a very cheezy movie that had it's creepy moments, to be sure but ultimately became just another stalker movie. The psychological depth needed to sustain a movie like this was missing and substituted were numerous shots of Morgan Fairchild looking sexy. This really wasn't a psychological thriller as much as a "thriller" that looked like it was made for the sole purpose of making fans of Morgan Fairchild drool. While Morgan Fairchild was and is, a very pretty woman, I tuned in to see a good suspense flick-this just got to bizarre in places-plenty of creepy music, flattering camera angles of Morgan and that's about it. All style, no substance. I had actually forgot about this movie until recently but just had to comment on it. It was also quite deceptive, when it was advertised, they actually made it look like it had a plot. I'm not saying it didn't(the whole stalker thing) but this was definetly more creepy and bizarre then deep and interesting-plus the movie really should have had as it's tag line: "Morgan Fairchild is hot" since that seemed like 90 percent of the movie's focus. I'd rate it a 3 out of 10.

An extremely silly "thriller". First of all, the Dereck character in real life would have gotten arrested for a number of offensives he commits. (He wouldn't have gotten serious sentences, but he would at least been arrested.) Second, the plot is really thin - see how many times and ways the filmmakers pad out the movie, including, but not limited to people walking around slowly from point A to B, Fairchild undressing, Fairchild showering or bathing, Fairchild in a hot tub, Fairchild driving around, etc. etc. Third, Dereck doesn't really become creepy or frightening until near the end of the movie - most of the movie, he acts like a confused little boy.However, credit to the crew who lit and photographed the movie. Their work is definitely above average. Pity that the other material of THE SEDUCTION doesn't deserve it.
