Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Even before he got there to L.A things went wrong for young Seattle architect Walter Woods, Rob Lowe, in having been almost run off the road by an enraged truck driver-Tony Longo-for mot going fast enough in a 70MPH lane. Reporting Longo to his employer later has the well over 300 pound brute come to visit Walter to get him to change his mind so he can get his job back. There's also the man who's hiring Walter to build his "Shining Mansion on the Hill" Mr. Harrison, James Belushi, who never seems to be pleased with Walter's work yet still puts up with him for reasons we and Walter later find out have nothing at all to do with his skills as an architect! Things get even worse for Walter at the rooming house that he stays in with his next door neighbor Catherine Langtry, Alex Meneses, making a play for him and later ending up murdered with him ending up the #1 suspect in her murder! If things weren't bad enough for Walter his apartment is infested with cat size rats that soil his blueprints for Harrison's house and his the house manager William, Dean Stockwell, threaten to throw him and his blueprints out on the street! ***SPOILERS***It's after someone-wearing a leather zip mask- breaks into Walter's room and fractures his big toe that he finally calls the police blaming the truck driver-Mr. Longo-that he earlier reported in a a fender vendor accident as the culprit without a stitch of evidence for the incident that the real reason behind Walter's problems finally come to the surface. Which go back to Seattle in what has to do with Walter's wife Linda's, Dana Wheeler-Nicolson, life before she met and married him. Effective thriller that has Walter fight for his life broken toe and all and when it looked like curtains for him he suddenly ties all the loose ends together along with the crazed killer who was out to murder him!

Pepper Anne "Living in Peril," is a low-budget thriller about an architect (Rob Lowe as wimpy "Walter Woods") who moves to Los Angeles and is terrorized by a psychopath whom he has yet to discover the identity of or the motive for. There is not much to the story, and the plot treads on sometimes routine scare tactics.However, despite having almost no discernibly gripping, or even remotely entertaining plot, this started out as a pretty funny movie, thanks to the confrontations between Woods and his cynical landlord, William, played wonderfully by Dean Stockwell. William thinks Woods is an idiot every time he comes knocking on his door to complain about one thing or another, and its usually about some kind of rat infestation. Nonetheless, many of Woods' bizarre accusations and callings often baffle William, who is sometimes speechless. Woods once pounds on William's door and asks, "did you move my furniture around in my apartment?" and Stockwell, as William, does not even know what to say at such a moronic suggestion. "Who are you?" he replies with almost a homicidal twitch. Walter's German friend, an aspiring stand up comedian, but sometimes absent minded (although well-meaning) guy adds more humor to the story as does Walter's failed attempts at trying to please his employer, usually because something goes wrong in his apartment, thanks to a psychopathic stalker trying to drive him insane.Then, kind of like the humor in "From the Hip" (an early Judd Nelson comedy/drama) which abruptly shifts into dark drama gear, this movie does the same, shedding its comedic atmosphere (which might have been just enough to contain you despite a weak plot) for the the "thriller" ending, which was a huge disappointment. The killer's motives, once he reveals them as most adversaries do by the end of the film, are completely ridiculous, and almost require a second take to remember who he is talking about in the first place. Unfortunately, the finale is utterly stupid.I would only half recommend this film, as it starts out in a pretty hilarious fashion, but ultimately, once the filmmakers try to entice you with conflict and climax, fail miserably.

revival05 Even though LIVING IN PERIL has got a remarkable **swedish** feeling over it it S*U*C*K*S BIG TIME!It has got simularities to just-as-awful CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED like so many other movies throughout Hollywood's history. 1. Laughable horrors. Nobody ever thought that white headed children was frightening, nor rats.2. Stupid script, aka IDIOT-POLICE and A SILLY BAD-GUY.and the classic one3. ACTORS THAT ARE FUN TO WATCH JUST BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUS!!!! Just take Rob Lowe and James Belushi! And I thought the mix with Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamill, and Kirstey Alley was fun!Otherwise we have great actors like Dean Stockwell and Earl Boen getting awfully thrown away.Allow be to bring out a 3/10

Darty It has Rob Lowe, which is good, but unfortunately the movie was just bad. There was a lot of random yelling, the acting was somewhat wooden in places and way to campy in others, and while you were apparently supposed to care about the peril Rob was in, you just didn't. As Rob so eloquently yelled somewhere in one of his paranoid tirades, 'Rat p*ss'. Yeah, that about sums it up.
