Eric Roberts never was a real actor and this is another proof. Why is he doing this still at the old age???

Awfull screenplay, awfull actors, awfull movie.

Skip if you can...

As odd as it is to say, "Stalked by My Doctor" has become a full-fledged franchise that's now run 5 films. Even odder, I've become a huge fan of them. For this installment, there was a noticeable change in tone -- as illustrated by the title change (I guess "Stalked by my Doctor 5" just didn't seem marketable to Lifetime?).

For this movie, they went a little more serious in tone, took out some of the overly cartoonish moments (like the song and dance scene in part 3 -- which I loved) and even eliminated Laid-Back Beck for most of the film, until the third act. While I do feel the series got a little goofy around part 3, not seeing those elements in the 5th movie made me miss them. There's also elements to this film where it felt they didn't fully execute on the premise -- like Beck living in the attic. It was a neat, creepy concept, but it didn't play much of a factor toward the conclusion.

Overall, a strong entry in the series, but far from the best. See my rankings below:

5. Stalked by My Doctor: A Sleepwalker's Nightmare 4. Just What the Doctor Ordered 3. Stalked by My Doctor: The Return 2. Stalked by My Doctor: Patient's Revenge 1. Stalked by My Doctor.

So this is the fifth Dr. Albert Beck LMN movie, if I'm not mistaken (can't call them "Stalked By My Doctor" anymore), and I love every one of them. Somehow, unlike with most of their other flicks, Lifetime becomes ingenious with this series - instilling them with the perfect blend of horror, suspense, drama, and campy yet subtle, witty comedy, and it actually works. The clever plot and dialogue of the last two or three has kept me wanting more and seems to have become the trademark of Dr. Albert Beck's ongoing adventures. I don't even mind the obvious glaring plot holes of all five of them because they're so enjoyable. It's rare for me to laugh out loud at a Lifetime movie for the right reasons! I've always liked Eric Roberts - been watching his work for years - but who knew he had such great comic timing?

Grade B / 8 out of 10.
