The Seduction (1982) is an early stalker movie. Morgan Fairchild is a
prominent news anchor, and a photographer decides he loves her, and she must
also love him. It starts with him spying on her with long telephoto lenses,
then he becomes bold enough to contact her. At this point in history, there
were no stalking laws, and the police could do nothing. Eventually, it is up
to her to bring him down.
Morgan Fairchild shows everything, albeit briefly in several nude scenes.
IMDb readers say 4.2. There isn't much wrong with the story, although a few
plot points are hard to swallow, but the acting was uniformly bad, even
earning three Razzie nominations. In fact, some of the line delivery was so
bad, I suspect the director was not even there for the filming. Morgan did
look very good, and the premise was new in 1982, but now it is just another
badly acted movie.
D+.
