Influences

The following films are about stalking, we have took ideas from some of them, and others of them we feel have included good ideas about the stalking theme.

1. Fatal Attraction (1987)

Glenn Close personifies crazy in this jilted-lover thriller about a married man (Michael Douglas) who has a weekend affair with a woman who refuses to allow it to end. Her obsession escalates from stalking to kidnapping and attempted murder before a final showdown with Douglas' wife. If there was ever a convincing case in film for men to stay faithful, this is it.

2. The Fan (1996)

This psychological thriller starring Robert DeNiro and Wesley Snipes explores the obsessive dedication of certain sports fanatics - in this case, baseball. De Niro's character grows increasingly disturbed throughout the film, as his favorite player's performance spirals downward and his own life follows suit. Once people start dying, however, the game appears to be over. Or is it just getting started?

3. One Hour Photo (2002)

What makes this stalker flick super creepy is the fact that bad guy Robin Williams finally plays totally against type, shocking the viewer into devoted belief in his lonely photo-shop employee who grows ever more jealous of one particular family’s seemingly perfect lifestyle (as he sees it through their pictures). Pushed over the edge after he is accused of theft, the four-eyed photobug decides to tear the family apart.

The three films we included in this all include a storyline with stalking themes.
