Personally I didn't feel one bit sorry for the broad for one second throughout this film. At the beginning of the movie when she's at that nightclub, she's approached by a guy who has a few extra pounds on him, who tells her she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Then she says "I'm with someone" and walks away. Then notices this guy loaded with muscle and goes for him. Newsflash to everyone. LOOKS ARE NOT EVERYTHING and if there is any lesson to be learned in this movie, it's that. She was a little snot and got everything she deserved. She should have been killed at the end of the movie, because that would have made it a whole lot better.
A good movie with somehow a little weird performance , but anyhow its a 90s movie , so it doesnt matter.
this movie doesnt consider as EROTIC thriller , as there is no nude or much sex scenes.

This film essentially begins with a young woman by the name of "Maggie Springer" (Kim Delaney) breaking up with her boyfriend "Sam Harrison" (Todd Allen) who is moving to Alabama to start a new business. After a few months she meets someone named "Roy Calvin" (Jack Scalia) and quickly falls head over heels for him. After spending a couple of nights together, however, he begins to become quite controlling and as a result she decides to break up with him. The problem is that he is a homicidal maniac, and he doesn't take rejection well at all. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie started off rather well but as the film progressed things became more and more implausible--to the point that the last 15 minutes or so were completely ridiculous. But that's Hollywood for you. Be that as it may, in spite of the increasingly nonsensical plot, I thought Kim Delaney put in a solid performance for the most part and I have rated this movie accordingly.
this is a good example of the middle aged scalia escaping the cocky pretty boy hero stuff of his younger years. i have to say hes an actor (perhaps a gift too as a model), to age with dignity and still stay very sexy, but here given the chance to be sinister also..and he jumps from sexy to pure evil well, you wish he was your new boyfriend too...if it wasn't for the matter he kills and stalks !!!
an underrated TV movie classic, the plot wasn't new but it was given class and moments of inventive style. the other comments of the fact he has no reason to be the way he is, missed the chat he had of his mother and his relationship with his father....don't want to spoil the plot but i think your find its the old chestnut of being a bit of the Oedipus complex and neglect, well thats what i found it said anyhow

the plot it tightly knit and properly worked out, maybe it´s true that there is not much of a character to be found in this movie, but hey, this film is not about characters as such, but about one sick situation!
