Obsessed (1992)

Lori, played by Shannen Doherty is quite the nut-case. A stalking but beautiful trophy girlfriend. William Devane, who played Ed Bledsoe is the charming, way older, well to do horny bachelor. I'm sorry but the relationship between Bledsoe and Lori is just plain unlikely. Really, to see them together made my skin crawl. Devane is just way too old. I cannot see those two together in real life. Why would they put it on film? The acting really is mediocre. Not their best performances. The only decent actor is the daughter (Andy) whose name I cannot recall. The only thing that bugged me about her is that hair-do. What is that? Not a bad movie if you're home sick in bed but if there's something else on, maybe you should pass this one up.

I just could not believe that Shannon Doherty or any young woman would carry on about William Devane. I know your lead to believe she had daddy issues, but I didn't get it. Maybe if she had a bunch or rats at her place like the movie 'Willard' I'd get it. The acting is decent enough though the love scenes were sort of gross. I liked William Devane in 'Marathon Man' & 'Testament', but come on now! Basically it's like like Fatal Attraction, or Play Misty For Me if you just make it young girl, older guy. The way she keeps trying and trying to win Devane's heart is all too much. I always liked Shannon from her Beverly Hills, 90210 days and felt the show sunk down when she left, I thought she'd make more of her career afterwords, but then again, who on that show did?

OK, I love the "psycho Chick" genre of movie....."Fatal Attraction", "The Crush"....etc, etc....This is definitely not one of those movies....It is however all you'd expect from a Shannon Doherty movie-of-the-week....The good news is that you can watch this one without thinking too much....Perfect way to end a long, hard day....It has really bad, cheesy dialog, and a plot you can figure out within the first 5 minutes of watching....And come on, it's Shannon Doherty doing what she does best....It's not "Fatal Attraction" and she isn't Glenn Close, but I watch this one every single time it's on....Is my IQ a little lower after watching it, probably.....But sometimes TV is supposed to be simple.

This plot line is totally unbelievable- who would actually fall for this guy? I am sorry that I wasted ANY time on this made for tv movie. The only movie that I have seen that is worse stars Susan Lucci, and she can't act her way out of a paperbag, so that isn't saying much (French Silk). Anyway, DON"T see this.
