Run-of-the-mill Aussie psycho-stalker yarn.

Married couple Jessie (Lisa Chappell) and Rob (Robert Taylor) have been trying unsuccessfully for a baby for some time. A visit to an IVF clinic brings them unwittingly into the path of resident psycho Evan (Sam Parsonson) for the first time.

If it is too be believed? There are a number of prima facie plot credibility factors at an early juncture. How did such an obvious nut job like Evan ever manage to get a job at the IVF clinic to begin with? Then on the basis of a fleeting encounter with the couple decide to pack in said job and move to some remote fishing town to what, use his powers of persuasion, given that he has loon tendencies, to somehow get it on with the reasonably on the surface happily married Jessie? It all seems just too implausible.

OK so it may be argued that Evan has that boyish Irish charm thing going on but you really never get the feeling that Jessie would even on a booze fuelled evening commit an infidelity with the young Evan in such a small town. The film maker’s rationale would be that she’s unstable and vulnerable due to the fact that she wants a baby so much and is confused, angry and a bit emotional but somehow this does not seem to quite fly.

After the ‘mistake’, it’s a predictable stalking routine as Evan becomes obsessed with Jessie, Jessie wants nothing to do with him and will Rob find out? Throw into the mix that Jessie is finally pregnant; it must be Evan’s right? Next!
