Ossessione senza fine - Frammenti di un incubo

I know these Stalked by my Doctor movies are over the top, unrealistic, plot holes everywhere you look, and the same basic premise in all 4 (the original and 3 sequels - so far) of them, but by gosh, they're just quirky enough, with just enough cleverly-written comic relief (the wise-cracking alter ego: "At least this one's old enough to drive.."), and with the consistently excellent tour de force performances by one of my all time favorites (Eric Roberts), to be thoroughly enjoyable (which, for me, is rare being as picky as I am).

It's delightfully obvious that Roberts is having as much fun playing the 'sick-brained' (Nicky Bismar hallucination, ha!) but brilliant doctor as we are watching him. I only wish they would keep making sequels but they've just about worn the original premise thin at this point, unfortunately!

I can't believe it took me over a year to finally see this after it came out, but better late than never. I was already pre-judging it before seeing it, thinking it would be lame and unoriginal in dialogue and characters since that's how sequels usually are after the first two or three, but thankfully I was wrong. I rarely, if ever, rate anything 8 - much less 9 - but this fourth installment of Stalked by my Doctor more than deserves it. Kudos to the writers too!

9 out of 10 / Grade B+

Turn your brain off, suspend reality and you will enjoy this ridiculous movie. Just like its 3 predecessors, this is packed with jokes, romance and a bit of drama. Yes the stories are always far fetched but, for entertainment value, this movie is top notch.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The thinking of this movie was intriguing, but the delivery was kinda sick. I think the killing part was unnecessary, I don't even understand why that happened.

Not as good as other installments of this series, but still better than many Hollywood blockbuster movies that play mind games and require intense concentration to try to follow the plot, which is often unfollowable. At least Lifetime is just laying out for you and it's pure entertainment as you sip your favorite beverage.

Eric Roberts is right on as usual in this role. I have one more show in this series to go and I'm looking forward to it!

ABOUT MY REVIEWS:

I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

I didn't care for this one. I loved the first three 'Stalked by my Doctors' but this one dropped the elements that I liked about the first three. He was more cold blooded in this version. In this one he pronounces, 'my name is Dr. Beck' before he kills someone as if he is a famous serial killer. In the first three you could see he was or could be a nice guy but driven to extreme behavior. He was also less clever and more brutish in this one.

I agree w/the reviewer who wondered why he ignored Emilie Ullerup who actually did like him and it was not a hallucination, couldn't believe she was 50, she was smokin.

Not bad by LFM standards. Just felt that this one misfired a bit. Don't like the direction they took it in but perhaps they felt they had to try something different w/his character.
