Classic tale of a down on her luck girl, who just broke up with her strung out actor that took one too many "how to act young and dangerous" classes. I do feel bad for the girl's life that when someone turns out all the lights in a high ceiling apartment in the middle of the day, she shuts down and can't hear a thing until the lights go back on. All the while, the not so charming or subtle bad guy turns up the creep factor sneaking around her apartment. Of course this is interrupted as charm by the classic Lifetime best friend, who insists that she pursue a romantic relationship with the smoldering apartment manager.
Half way thru the movie, it suddenly decides to change "the creepy tenet" from middle aged man cradle robbing vibes to a "college frat boy that skips class" type of villain. They double down on this time shift by having him say such lines "as woah why so many books?" while in a library to "seriously do you wanna make out here?" to "ditching me for studying!?" Then to remind the audience the true middle aged creep in this movie was the TA from the first few minutes that obviously had a sketchy relationship with his student. Surprise though he, the TA, is the victim in that relationship as the student tricked him the whole time.
Classic Lifetime Movie stalker drama though that features such classics as stalker hovering over the bed of his sleeping prey. The true highlight of the onscreen movie though was when the villain turns the movie into his on personal music video taking a sledge hammer to the walls of the upstairs apartment. Watch it ironically for what it is or don't watch it at all.
Side note, the most exciting thing that happened to me during this movie, was when my wife screamed from seeing a bug in the basement. Spent 15 minutes from trying to find the body. Then screamed again when she saw a giant spider, in the same way a young virgin girl describes the male anatomy. And sulks in the fact that she is scared to live with spider but more angry at the fact that she knows she can't not kill the spider. Comes upstairs exclaiming "I hate basements. My arm hurts. That thing was HUGE! And I still don't know where the body went." (Slaps her arm trying to shake out the fatigue)
