Another one of "those" movies. Very typical with average acting. But again, it's also entertaining. You watch it waiting to see what happens next, even though you already have a pretty good idea.
Angela's confrontations with Kyle were far from the best acting moments. And why do Kyle and Michael have to look similar? Like most Lifetimesque movies, Michael gets clobbered with a baseball bat to the head, but he's fine. Just like Daffy Duck. Kyle gets shot and he's down. But he gets up again raring to go, just like Daffy Duck.
I liked Linsey Godfrey's hair for no other reason than it was different from 98% of all the other typical leading ladies. I also liked the sets and locations.

Horrible lead actress
momsipadonly22 April 2019
This movie would have been a great movie. Compelling story line and other actors performed spectacularly but the lead female in this movie was like a wet blanket. No emotion weird facial expressions and just all around terrible acting. Such a waste of a good movie and otherwise great cast.
Wooden Acting , Plastic Setting
carolynocean29 September 2022
Nothing in this , movie seemed real ! From ridiculously perfect lifestyles and homes , to perfect work places .
Is there ever a hair or a cushion out of place in these fake movies ?
And the leading actress playing Angela , well, for such a well educated , supposed to be intelligent woman , she did'nt seem to have one shred of common sense ' !
Firstly ,she takes on her ex as a client , then she sleeps with him , and then tells him the following day that it was a mistake , and " lets be friends again, and you can still be my client " !
No. Angela , it does'nt work like that !
Also , it did seem at times , that it was all about Angela , and her perfect body and face , what was with all the ' Angela getting wet ' scenes ? , ok , I get it , when a movie is this rubbish , just throw in the eye candy shots for the male audience !
Give this one a miss , I advise.

The Problem With Angela
lavatch22 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The strength of "He's Watching" is the ambiguity of the protagonist Angela Pierce, who is a successful financial consultant and was recently made partner in the Apex corporation. But an echo from Angela's past arrives in her office seeking to become a client. It is Kyle Miller, with whom she had a romantic relationship during college.
In their twenties, Angela and Kyle were both idealists with Angela dreaming of becoming a writer of fiction. Kyle went on to become a famous photographer. But Angela chose a more practical career after opting for an MBA and working in finance. She is also about to be engaged to Michael, a similarly practical person and successful litigator of class action suits.
Angela makes a number of mistakes when Kyle returns in her life, the first of which is in using poor judgment to accept him as a client. She then meets him outside of the workplace. After a dinner, Angela returns home, phones Kyle, and invites herself over to his place. They subsequently engage in sex, and the next morning, Angela feels remorse and informs Kyle that the previous evening was a mistake. But it wasn't a mistake from Kyle's perspective.
Until he goes off the rails with criminal activity, Kyle was clearly treated shabbily by Angela. In college, she broke off their relationship, giving the reason that she felt that she needed to live independently. Now, once again, she cuts Kyle out of her personal life and does so with a remarkable insensitivity.
Whereas life seemed to be a struggle for Kyle, everything came easily for Angela. Even Michael forgives her after receiving footage of the steamy night Angela spent with Kyle. In the film's denouement, we learn that in less than a year after being fired from Apex, a now very pregnant Angela has become a bestselling author with a blockbuster novel based apparently on her ordeal with Kyle.
Even in death, Kyle Miller was exploited by the woman who once loved him when, in better times, they both believed in the words of the poet e. e. cummings: "One's not half two. It's two haves of one."

Predictable, Laughable and Pathetic
filteredwater29 December 2018
Who would possibly give a rating of 10/10 after watching this film? Must be either the die hard fans of the particular actors or persons who were paid to do so. Sadly, this was one of those all-too-familiar Lifetime projects where an obsessive ex turn into a psycho wreaked havoc on the personal and professional life of his college sweetheart. In other words, this was another pathetic and laughable attempt of repackaging same old craps with new label, and then sold it to customers. The acting for the most parts, were negligible. Perhaps the only good part was the friendship between the female protagonist and her college mate. There were genuine acting on the part of both actresses which made their connection believable.
Deeply disturbing psychological thriller!
paulgibson-2980626 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If baseball and photography are your chosen hobbies then this cinematic crowd pleaser may just be your bag because both feature heavily in what is a deeply disturbing psychological thriller.
Without giving too much away, a young attractive lady called Angela (with Linsey Godfrey in the lead role), has a boyfriend and a successful career and out of the blue her photographer ex boyfriend Kyle turns up. The silver tongued charmer manages to tempt the brazen hussy into his bed and the cad films their night of passion without her knowledge. The following day, Angela receives a soppy message from her boyfriend and quite rightly has regrets about her wanton actions. Kyle (played with suitable menace by the marvellously named Tilky Jones), doesn't react well to being dumped again by Angela and this is when the viewer is made aware that he may not be the full shilling. Lots of unhinged behaviour on his part ensues which ultimately concludes with him giving Angela's boyfriend the benefit of a hefty blow with his oversized baseball bat. Michael (the boyfriend, played with great gusto by Darri Ingolfsson) is obviously a hardy young chap because five minutes later he's sat up and talking and remarkably still retains all his teeth. Not wishing to spoil the ending of what is a thoroughly satisfying climax, all I will say is that the psychotic photographer finds himself at the wrong end of a powerful handgun.
Superb acting by the leads and a fully believable story-line only add to the enjoyment of the cinematic experience and mention must be given to Ann Hermann as the Gallery Patron whose role in the film is far too brief and doesn't allow her to fully display her acting credentials.
Ultimately, this masterpiece acts as a cautionary tale for young ladies who have boyfriends and ex boyfriends to beware hidden cameras in bedrooms whilst they are involved in certain activities and for boyfriends of all ages to avoid their girlfriend's ex, especially if he is wielding an over sized baseball bat.
A rollicking good film!
