***************

Nothing in this movie makes sense. The stalker breaks in by decoding the burglar alarm, lies down in the girl's bed, drops a cell phone that somehow clues the parents (with a few numbers) that the alarm system has been breached. He then emerges to kill the girl's parents and in a flash he's gone.

Next we go to a scene 13 years later where a detective is still struggling to solve what would have been a very cold case. And the home invader, well, he's still at it.

Did the script writer expect us to believe that a cell phone app could turn a series of deadbolt locks at the apartment of a tech-phobe who wouldn't get near anything related to electronics? Yes, we're talking plain old brass deadbolt locks. Step right up suckers. See him turn them from the outside using a cell phone!

And, yes, he manages murder the woman's only friend (her therapist) by messing with the walk light at a busy intersection. Another cell phone app, it seems. You'd think the lead character would have reacted with some sadness. Well, don't expect logic here.

It took at least a month to film this piece of pure rubbish. How do I know? The lead actress's hair is blonde to the roots in some scenes and has a one-centimeter outgrowth of untreated hair in others. That takes a month.

A budget of under $2 million is low for movies, I know. But it should be enough for an $8 bottle of hair dye. Never mind. Not worth it.

Worst TV movie I've seen outside the intentionally-bad SciFi channel stuff. Ghastly awful.
