Five to Watch - Movies About Stalkers

With “You” and “Dirty John” being popular shows on Netflix, I came up with the theme for this item. Movies about stalkers. Here are five films I think are not as well-known or deserve more attention. And I think you should definitely give them a shot.

The Crush
When 14-year-old Darian develops a crush on journalist Nick, who rents an apartment from her father, she will go very far to get what she wants. It’s fun to see a stalker in the form of a teenage girl, played by a very young Alicia Silverstone.

The Fan
Robert DeNiro plays baseball fan Gil Renard, who has developed an unhealthy form of worship for baseball player Bobby Rayburn, played by Wesley Snipes. A movie that not a lot of people know, but it’s pretty good.

Fear
Nicole is a sheltered teenager and she meets David at a rave. She immediately becomes smitten, but David has a violent streak. Nicole’s father starts looking into that, but David is going to cause them all a lot of grief.

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
A movie you should definitely not watch when you are hiring a nanny. Rebecca De Mornay plays a nanny in “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle”. Her husband killed himself and she loses her child. She becomes the nanny of a young family, where she embarks on a mission of vengeance against the mother and her family.

One Hour Photo
Sy Parrish is a strange obsessive loner. He attaches himself to the lives of his costumers, which unspool in batches of the photo he develops for them. He’s particularly drawn to the Yorkin family, who actually notice him, where other people pass him by. In addition to collecting copies of all of Yorkin’s photos, he begins to start taking photos of the family on his own. A real creepy and different role from Robin Williams, who portrays Sy.
