Man stalks Woman

I read in a previous review that this movie is like "High Tension" or compared to it. P2 was a decent movie, no where in the arena of High Tension. Wes Bentley (Thomas) did a good job in the movie and definitely was a creepy character. Overall its a movie that probably can wait until DVD to watch. There are several cheap scares that get the crowd pushed back in their seats. I feel as though this movie was probably rushed when made. The movie probably could have been shot all in one night if it really wanted to be. Overall though, there are some scares. I just think that this movie could have been made to be a lot more creepier than it was.
