How good is Jessica Walters in this film? I've seen it heaps and she creeps me out every time. almost as good as her in Arrested development

One of the earliest examples of lame-ass anti-woman 'thrillers' all sympathetic to boring white male leads who bang unstable women and expect us to care when they can't handle the consequences. Just as shit and offensive as Fatal Attraction. Why anyone would be obsessed with cardboard cutout Clint Eastwood (who even here has the sex appeal of rotting dust jacket) is beyond me, I guess the bitch really WAS crazy!

Clint's directorial debut is an entertaining one. When it's good it's very good, & when it's bad, well... it's quite funny. Jessica Walter is brilliantly mental as Clint's obsessive stalker, & her performance alone creates a huge chunk of the tension in this movie. Clint's direction helps too as it is often atmospheric & dark. That said there are several moments, & I'm particuarly thinking about the ridiculously long & cheesy woodland love-scene, where Clint is just being a pompous wanker.

Really good for the first hour and then Clint runs out of ideas and gets self-indulgent for the last 35 minutes. Overall it's good.

An intense thriller and a great directorial debut from Clint Eastwood. Set the stage for movies such as "Fatal Attraction"

This isn't the most known thriller. However, it is very good, with great suspense and an antagonist that is, surprisingly, incredibly scary.

Not at a bad thriller, setting the template for "crazy female stalker" movies. It provides such genuine suspense and shocking moments, and contextually serves as an interesting response to the sexual revolution. But there are some issues. The dialogue is often really hacky. There's an unbelievably cornball Roberta Flack montage. And the film has a rather narcissistic streak and disturbingly misogynistic undertones. Well-plotted and some interesting editing choices but too many shortcomings.

That punch at the end should have been accompanied by an Adam West KAPOW! on the screen.

An interesting directing debut from Clint Eastwood. Not one of his best films though, and it has some hilariously inappropriate music in parts

Entertaining. Not a bad first film for Eastwood.

An engrossing psychological thriller.

Clint Eastwood looking undeniably cool while also delivering my favourite punch in cinema (bar Tony Jaa in Ong Bak in the petrol station scene)

Wow, she is crazy! Edge of your seat stuff, very well done by Eastwood who was obviously not nervous about acting directing for the first time. The whole Jazz festival thing was a bit unnesessary but hey, who doesn't love Jazz?

Solid directorial debut from Eastwood. And yes, obviously Fatal Attraction stole from this movie. The ending is hilarious and well deserved. It was crazy to see Lucille Bluth play such a psychotic bitch, she was excellent.
