Fantastic!

Shannon exhibits fine acting in addition to her always fantastic body. Though some aspects of the movie could have been better, Shannon makes it all worth while. December 15, 2002

Shannon Whirry is worth seeing

This is a fair B-movie. Nothing spectacular and the theme has been done to death: Obsessed stalker captures target and subjects her to his fantasies. It's been done better in the gripping Tattoo, starring Maud Adams and the quirky Spanish flick Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, starring Victoria Abril.
But Shannon Whirry is stunning, even before she removes her clothes and reveals her marvelous assets. And she can act, with dramatic flair and wit. She is at first scared, then angry, and finally turns the tables on her captor through the power of her beauty and sensuality.
I watched the unrated VHS release, so the R-rated version might have disappointing cuts. August 1, 2002

Not Whirry at her best...

...but her bust is at its best, as always. Not a top-of-the-line evil nude kinkfest from Shannon Whirry, but it might turn the crank of some of you. The best scene is when Whirry tries to escape and jams her huge funbags in a doggy door... They end up greasing her up, which I have always wanted to see. June 2, 2001

Mediocracy breeds idiocracy, and hence, humor

P.O. may have a weak plot, but the poorly constructed characters and background music make the flick an interesting view. Recollections of the movie stem from the misplaced quotes; intended to be dramatic, their arrangement and juxtaposition within the dialogues create irony. For example, as Richard, the captor, attempts mysterious intrigue, he answers with "You'll find out, Manny," in his lyrical, omnipotent tone.
Other characters, such as Mr T ("The 'T' stands for 'travel'") and the police detectives were originally designed to increase tension, but fail to perform in their duties; they provide a break in the action, but do not elevate the level of suspense.
Private Obsession is an excellent study in poor form, yet simultaneously breeds ironic humor. November 2, 1999
