Un extraño está mirando

I had recently get this on inter-loan from the library.

I I'll have to say, out of all the Mary Higgins Clark movie adaptations which my mom and I enjoy, this one feels the most serious and feels R-rated.

Since this is directed by guy who made the original Friday the 13th, this film has a little bite to it.

Rip Torn plays the mysterious kidnapper who adducts an 11 year old girl played by cute Shawn Von Schreiber and a reporter played by sexy Kate Mulgrew.

A large some of money must be met by the kidnapper or he will kill both Kate and the girl.

I love the dark claustrophobic atmosphere and the thickness of the high tension.

Rip Torn is excellent as the sleazy manic mad man, I had never seen him be a villain in anything before. I had only seen him in very little, but enjoyed him in the Men in Black movies.

Kate Mulgrew is another actress I had seen in very little, the only movie we own with her is Throw Momma from the Train, and I gained a crush on her since I was little. I do remember seeing her in the tv series Star Trek: Voyager, when I was little and loved her in that as well.

These movies in the Mary Higgins Clark films are a little corny but I really like them, guilty pleasures if you will, this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from stat to finish.

I don't want to say more because I'll give away the twists but you will be entertained.

I give it a 6/10. Give it a look and enjoy.
