Shadow of Fear (2012 TV Movie)
2/10
I Did Not Like This Movie
6 April 2022
And the reason being is the characters .

Firstly I agree with one reviewer who stated that , in this type of movie , you have to like the victim and dislike the agressor .

I did not like the lead female role . From the begining she and her" team of protectors " ,annoyed me . This woman seemed incapeable of defending herself in anyway on her own , even though she is protrayed as being strong and independant from the opening scenes .

Secondly , I felt completely uncomfortable about the way that mental illness was dealt with in this movie , I mean, it was blatently obvious from the very start that Morgan was suffering from severe mental illness , and for anybody not to have noticed that ,and not to act immediatley , by reporting it , is just ridiculous .

And of course I felt sorry for Morgan , being that unwell is not a choice made by people who suffer from mental illness , rather a condition that requires urgent care and help .

Sorry , for the speech , but as I said , this movie made me feel uncomfortable .
