Cave is a twisted girl-stalker whose obsession with lawyer Davis turns deadly. Creepy is an understatement as the diminutive Cave craves the lifestyle of the successful legal eagle, becoming increasingly unhinged but despite the sinister intentions, this Canadian TV psychological thriller is threadbare on plot.
Although imitative of 'Single White Female', there's only so many times a stalker hiding behind trees, peering forlornly through windows and maniacally stabbing pillows can be tolerated before it wears thin. Cave is scarily believable but her character needed better dialogue, whilst the storyline was cheated by a weak climax that lacked imagination.
Economical, brisk-paced telemovie is too superficial and lacking logic to be truly effective, but still possesses enough structure and suspense to be a passable matinee thriller.
