I Can Make You Love Me

1993 ·1h 32m · ★ 6.6 (31)

A beautiful young computer technician starting off her career in Silicon Valley during the Eighties, is stalked and harassed by a nerdy, dangerous and mentally-unstable colleague with a twisted obsession.

Why it matters

A tense ’90s TV thriller that captures the creeping dread of workplace obsession before tech paranoia went mainstream.

  • Early ’90s made-for-TV vibes, with a tight runtime and a lean, focused narrative that keeps the stalker’s menace front and center.
  • A rare genre snapshot of Silicon Valley just as personal computing culture was taking off—technology as both backdrop and silent antagonist.
  • The performances lean into the era’s melodrama but deliver genuine discomfort, especially from the unsettling, obsessive antagonist.
  • For fans of stalker thrillers and ’80s/’90s tech nostalgia, it’s a curious artifact of pre-internet anxieties about privacy and obsession.
