The Cyberstalking (1999) Reviews
Phantom of the Cyberspace
I really don't know what this weird virtual reality story is all about, but the highlights of this dark Phantom-of-the-opera-goes-cyberspace-movie is Jean Louisa Kelly's performance as cyberspace singer "Holly Moon", singing a Chemical Brothers-like big beat techno song called "Only in Hollywood", and all of the virtual computer effects of her performances. The rest is a confusing plot about Holly being threatened by an unknown phantom during her performances, but the thrills got lost. A good techno-style video clip with a weak alibi story linking the interesting visual. Don't follow the story, just dance to it!
Two thumbs up
Excellent Science Fiction story mixed with rock and roll and virtual reality. Based on a story by SF author Pat Cadigan. The cast is fresh and appealing (no silicone amongst the ladies) and the special effects are top notch.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE
This is a sub-standard film hyped with a sexy photo and suggestive title. The movie is about a hi-tech dance club which features a reality performer in a seamless holographic image. The problem is that the software has created a dark ominous man who scares the heck out of the singer. Samantha (Claudine Wilde) is the original star, but then gets freaked out. She is replaced by Holly (Jean Louisa Kelly). Samantha has a brother who attempts to visit her, but her employer doesn't allow it, apparently Samantha lives at the studio too because calling her or visiting her at home is not a movie option. . The dancing and music was 1980's style, with the dancers at the club simply going through the motions. Holly, who is supposed to write her own music, performs several times, always the same song. The acting was bad, characters poorly developed, and a plot that leaves you scratching your head. No sex or nudity and I don't recall any F-bombs. Not worth the rental. The movie can be bought as part of a 10 movie Sci-Fi pack, which has a few films worth watching.
The Cyberstalking
Okay, one more review. I recently acquired a copy of this movie in a $5.00 bin of movie dvds. It had 8 movies on it and all of them were pretty good. However, I have watched this movie at least five times already. I loved it. The ladies are hot and the men are pretty good looking as well. All the actors/actresses were great in this film. All very believable. I to think the graphics were great and the music was fantastic. Anyone could relate to doing whatever it takes to make your dream happen. How clever, a virtual reality world that takes what you can imagine in your mind and make it real. Awesome idea for a movie script. I think they should sell it to a bigger studio and make an all out production. They could use several young singers, men and women and thicken the plot some more. Use more than one demon in the mix to scare the audience. Yes this was a bit cheesy, but for a made for TV movie it was fantastic and ahead of its time for 1999. A newer version could really make it on the big screen I think. This thing is over ten years old and I am hooked after one viewing. I can't believe I missed it on TV. I wish I could get a copy of songs as performed on the TV episode. I will check out the Republica version. Loved jean louisa kelly in this role and Jason Hildebrandt? What happened to this guy. He was great and can't find nothing on him. He must have done other stuff. I whole heartedly recommend this movie for anyone who likes music and out of the ordinary possibilities. It left me wishing I could go into VR and see what my imagination would create. WOW!
Awesome Movie
I loved this movie, although it was a made for TV movie it was excellent. I had been searching for the song that Holly Moon had sung in the movie and finally found it. I'm mad that I could not find the song that Samatha had sung in the movie, but for all who are interested the song Holly Moon sings is "Holly" by "Republica" such an awesome song and a great band. They are based in the United Kingdom, but are gaining popularity in the United States with time. But they movie is excellent and I would love to know how I could get a copy of it. I've been searching and searching, with no luck. If anyone out there is reading this please let me know how I could acquire it. ENJOY!!!
