This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Not sure why this is labelled as "thriller"; there are hardly any thrills. The lead actress is not convincing in her role, and is rather unlikeable to boot. Some Carrie Bradshaw wannabe that you have no interest in and no desire to root for. Bad character development plus the acting is mediocre at best. Disaster. The "bad guy" is not convincing, either. Not menacing at all. His supposed obsession doesn't seem real at all. In fact, he gives out the vibe that he intensely dislikes the broad rather than is obsessed with her.This movie is highly unrealistic. I'm not sure who's supposed to be the target audience. No one really likes a movie they can't relate to in any way, right? And the only way for the audience to know when they are "supposed to" be "thrilled" (or scared) is the sound effects. In fact, they were the most "threatening" thing about this movie.Waste of time, basically.

This could have easily been a GREAT film with a slightly higher budget. Sexy 21-year-old Diane Lane is hired as a trendy window dresser with kinky designs, when she is then stalked by a medical assistant who watches her work from his office next door. The plot is quite straightforward, as Diane strikes up a romantic interest with a friendly magazine reporter... but the classic revenge that young Diane later gets, makes the film well worth watching. She eventually ruins her stalker's personal life very methodically, & then locks him in her store display window with vicious guard dogs. Did I mention the sexy scenes by a young 21-yr-old Diane Lane..??.. This movie is fun for both guys & gals. Lady Beware is probably is more of a PG-13 film, with the exception of just a few times that four letter words are used.

This movie definitely has a Grade B feel to it. Diane Lane is only "star" actor in here and she wasn't that big a name in '87 anyway. The story is sleazy one about a window dresser (Lane) who displays almost-pornographic displays with her window mannequins. These semi-erotic dressing attract a stalker to Lane and that's where the suspense come in....good suspense, to be fair. Lane is great to ogle and is not modest in showing herself to us. Actually, this film seems to be only a vehicle or an excuse for the pretty actress to show off her breasts. Otherwise, it's standard "B" fare, because the story sure isn't much.

Diane Lane was so beautiful in this film. And her topless scenes here didn't hurt that a bit. Michael Woods was evil enough, and as I suspected, (confirmed by Imdb) he is James Woods' brother. Aside from this the movie was a thoroughly formulaic psycho stalker movie. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Lane's character at least got to be a strong woman type at the end and trap the stalker herself, rather than being merely the damsel in distress. This allowed her to flesh out the characterization and shows that she has some talent in addition to magnificent breasts. Also, somewhat refreshingly, the ending climax amounted to police apprehension of the villain, rather than the expected grisly death. An OK film, and a must for fans of Lane. Grade C+
