This is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be based on the trailer. A woman has a one-night-stand with the "boy next door", regrets it in the morning and wants to forget all about it.

The "boy", on the other hand, is now obsessed with having her as his own, and inserts himself into her life and the life of her son in ways that get more disturbing as time goes on.

The big sex scene is made very creepy by the music that's played throughout it.

The movie is pretty much a re-think of Fatal Attraction.

Unfortunately, they couldn't afford a tripod for the camera! The picture bounces around in a distracting manner even when the only action is someone talking on the phone.

Good movie, and worth seeing if you aren't subject to motion sickness.
