Editorial Reviews

They don't see him but he's there. A stranger is watching; plotting; planning; and anticipating every move they make. Then he strikes. He imprisons a little girl and a famous reporter in the dank maze of tunnels beneath New York's Grand Central Station. The kidnapper is a remorseless psychopath who wants to collect a ransom then murder his captives. His victims' only hope is their own wits - and the aid of the dazed and desperate homeless people who roam this urban netherworld. Kate Mulgrew is heartrendingly believable as the reporter and Rip Torn gives a harrowing performance as the kidnapper in this nightmarish shocker based on the Mary Higgins Clark suspense novel and directed by Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th).

4.0 out of 5 stars An underrated horror/suspense movie, January 22, 2002

This review is from: A Stranger Is Watching [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Wow, what a dark and brutal movie. A terrifying bad guy that is a real psycho, totally ruthless and crazy, and it's set in one of the most eerie and nightmarish places ever, down in the catacombs beneath New York City. You will never feel more hopeless when you see the heroine down in this dark underworld and you know nobody can help her. Check it out. Similar to "the New York Ripper" but better.

This was a fantastic movie! I saw it years ago on cable and was dying to get a copy. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. For those of you who like suspensful dramas, I highly recommend this one. When is the DVD going to be released?? Hint, Hint.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Stranger is a Stranger No More, November 4, 2000

With talents such as Kate Mulgrew and Rip Torn "A Stranger is Watching" is an intense thriller of kidnapping and ransom. Considered a "slasher-flick" by some critics, it is too benign by today's standards. This is a thriller that will allow its viewers to go to sleep at night, but it will make them wary of vans without windows.
