LOOK @ ME is a terrible little independent exploitation/thriller quickie that I'm surprised was picked up and got a showing on a Freeview movie channel here in the UK. It's bargain basement stuff throughout, a somewhat sleazy outing about a web starlet and her obsessed stalker.
The film has been designed to show off as much flesh as possible, although with the choice of lead actress that's not necessarily a good thing. Elina Madison works hard in the part, but she doesn't really cut it all that well, and as the villain Jeff Doba is just goofy. While I commend LOOK @ ME for avoiding the usual violence-against-women prevalent in this particular genre of movie, at times it comes across as a cheesy slapstick with over the top violence and ridiculous plotting.
The female character has repeated opportunities to do something about the situation in which she finds herself, but she refuses to take them in order to drag the storyline out a bit further. It all gets very boring very quickly, and the production values are among the worst I've seen.

Look at Me is about an exhibitionist woman who gets some attention that she didn't expect from her sexy website. Why people would not expect to get whack jobs coming after them for posing on the web is beyond me, but some people seem to thing everyone is normal. Anyway, the whack job nabs the woman and holds her to do his bidding with mild torture and a lot of gratuitous violence and minor nudity. People try to save her and get caught up in the mad man's scheme with bad results. Some social commentary about how the web is a bad place, but its just like any other place. Bad people live there so be careful. An OK B+ movie with adequate acting and quality for a one time watch.
I enjoyed it, but it is very similar to the movie "Private Obsession" with Shannon Whirry It is a solid "B" movie,yes I would recommend it for titilation but has a predicable plot. My only issue with it is the Female lead is by no means Penthouse or Playboy material, and her physical size )her chest is to small forthis type roll) was not designed for the film, but she still does an excellent job in her portrayal of the victim. The Lead Male is a bit over dramadic at times in the movie and I could do without the flashback to his doctor But all in all, yes I would recommend this especially if you have seen the Shannon's Whirry version,it is far better but this is still real good, here version is a bit more realistic, if that counts in this type film Guys who like T&A and titilation should enjoy it Also when I rented it, it was the first time in a long time where the storyline was exactly what I expected it to be
