A very competent thriller


Like a poor man's Cape Fear, 5 years earlier. Carl Simmons, the stalker character, doesn't have any lines, which adds to the tension as we can read frightened desperation in his eyes. There is no way of knowing where this will lead, and it remains fairly gripping from beginning to end. Also, this minister is pretty ripped! I'm guessing pushups on the steps of the altar between services.
