'He's Watching' (2018 TV Movie)
10/10
Deeply disturbing psychological thriller!
26 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If baseball and photography are your chosen hobbies then this cinematic crowd pleaser may just be your bag because both feature heavily in what is a deeply disturbing psychological thriller.

Without giving too much away, a young attractive lady called Angela (with Linsey Godfrey in the lead role), has a boyfriend and a successful career and out of the blue her photographer ex boyfriend Kyle turns up. The silver tongued charmer manages to tempt the brazen hussy into his bed and the cad films their night of passion without her knowledge. The following day, Angela receives a soppy message from her boyfriend and quite rightly has regrets about her wanton actions. Kyle (played with suitable menace by the marvellously named Tilky Jones), doesn't react well to being dumped again by Angela and this is when the viewer is made aware that he may not be the full shilling. Lots of unhinged behaviour on his part ensues which ultimately concludes with him giving Angela's boyfriend the benefit of a hefty blow with his oversized baseball bat. Michael (the boyfriend, played with great gusto by Darri Ingolfsson) is obviously a hardy young chap because five minutes later he's sat up and talking and remarkably still retains all his teeth. Not wishing to spoil the ending of what is a thoroughly satisfying climax, all I will say is that the psychotic photographer finds himself at the wrong end of a powerful handgun.

Superb acting by the leads and a fully believable story-line only add to the enjoyment of the cinematic experience and mention must be given to Ann Hermann as the Gallery Patron whose role in the film is far too brief and doesn't allow her to fully display her acting credentials.

Ultimately, this masterpiece acts as a cautionary tale for young ladies who have boyfriends and ex boyfriends to beware hidden cameras in bedrooms whilst they are involved in certain activities and for boyfriends of all ages to avoid their girlfriend's ex, especially if he is wielding an over sized baseball bat.

A rollicking good film!
