    Stalking Laura Reviews:
    A real thriller!!! 4 Star Review
    2009-08-14 - First of all, forget about John-Boy. Richard Thomas has proven he can play every character type that spans the entire spectrum between both extremes, from John-Boy to Rich Farley. Brooke Sheilds looks a lot like the real Laura Black, and it's a good supporting cast also. The plot is a good one, and it's a movie that's not only entertaining, but also serves as a portrayal of the realities of those with an obsession. Overall, it's a great movie, but dont' let the kids watch!

    I was there 5 Star Review
    2009-04-26 - I was employed at the same company, ESL, and worked in the same building, M5, as Laura Black. Fortunately for me, I quit the company the day before the shootings took place. Although I worked in the same building and on the same floor, I was not in the same group as Laura. Although I do remember her - she was an attractive young woman.

    From all that I know about the actual event the movie is, for the most part, very accurate in both the overall story and also in the details. It seemed particularly accurate in many of the particulars: Farley shooting his first victim at the entrance to the building, Farley shooting many computer terminals, the Togo's #26, Laura being on the 2nd story of a two story building, the restraining order, and many more details.

    But there is one area where the movie does not follow what really happened. In the movie Richard Farley is portrayed as a valuable engineer with reasonable physical attractiveness. In reality, Farley was a technician (not a college graduate position), was substantially older than Black, and was not very attractive physically - you can see his picture on Wikipedia. It is not clear to me why the people who made this movie made this change to the story. My best guess is that it allowed the development of the scenes where the HR person at KEI (ESL) implied that Laura shared some of the blame for Farley's advances. In reality it would have been very hard to believe that Laura shared any blame for the situation. Because of this deviation from reality, I am more skeptical that scenes with HR are accurate (of course I don't know the truth here). Also, Laura went back to ESL after she recovered and worked there for years. This indicates that she did not have animosity towards the company which implies that HR did not behave as portrayed in the movie.

    Despite these changes which appear to be made to build the drama, I think the movie was a very good portrayal of a very unfortunate event.


    A disturbing tale of love obsession and stalking 4 Star Review
    2009-04-24 - Docudrama based on the actual stalking case of Laura Black, a woman who becomes the victim of an obsessed coworker whose increasingly bizarre behavior ultimately leads to a violent workplace shooting.

    The movie was made long before workplace shootings such as this became as commonplace as they are today. It definitely captures all the shock and horror of such violence, as well as the terrifying buildup to the crime that the initial stalking vicitm feels.

    Convincing performances by both Brooke Shields and Richard (John-boy Walton) Thomas.

    Very good movie - lots of suspense 5 Star Review
    2008-10-08 - I first saw this several years ago when I was just a child. It had such an impact on me that I recently searched the TV channels until I finally located it and watched it again. I told my sister about it and she said that we should definitely buy a copy of it.

    Although I watched it as a child, I don't believe it is a good movie for children as the end of the movie gets kind of bloody and frightening. Parents should decide for themselves if their children can handle it.

    Very Entertaining 5 Star Review
    2008-09-08 - This movie delivers all of the suspense and thrills of a true tale of obsession. The cast was selected with perfection. I would highly recommend the movie.
