It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Possibly the worst movie I have ever watched - it feels and sounds like it was written, directed and produced by a committee of talentless sixteen year old boys who think that by generating a sense of menace they have achieved enough and need do no more. In fairness, the actors do the best they can. The music was dreadful, the scenes of a guitar-playing, angst-ridden youth practicing with his electric guitar were comically clichéd. The characters were without depth. Themes which might have been explored were treated like like footnotes - Kate's childhood and abusive father, the first victim's apparent death-wish. No attempt was made to understand or explain the principal character. Even the beautiful location was grossly under-used.The only positive note is that it made me realize how much worse other films could be.

Art Stoner (Tom Berenger) is a serial killer, who becomes friend of his victims before killing them, and assuming their identity after their deaths. After killing and assuming the identity of a professor of an university, he moves to work as watchtower in a coastal city. There, he becomes a close friend of his colleague Mike O'Conner (Tygh Runyan), a young man in probation. He starts dating Mike's sister, Kate (Rachel Hayward), who is a single woman of thirty and something years and owns of a fishing vessel. In order to avoid spoilers, I will not make any further comments. This movie is a reasonable entertaining for killing time. Full of clichés, it seems to be some sort of standard screenplay available for producers. The modifications in the script of this type of movies are minimum and combined among them. However, this one is well produced, has a good soundtrack and the good actor (although very fat) Tom Berenger. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): `Um Estranho na Torre' (`A Stranger in the Tower')

i love Tom Berringer and i love serial killer stories but this movie was absolutely terrible. i put down like 3 other DVD's when i rented this, just for the sake of the plot description and Berringer's name. i regret it. it was a waste of time. stay away.

Increbibly bad and boring thriller about a serial killer (Berenguer) who came to work in a lighthouse in a little town in Oregon and falls in love (if you can say so!) with a local girl. Flat plot line, weak characterizations and no real suspense made this one a waste of time and money. I give this a 3 (three).
