Review of Someone to Watch Over Me (1987) by Cameron F — 08 Jan 2016

An unknown John Carpenter-flick. It's one made for TV and the film before his classic "Halloween" film. We follow a lady that is being terrorized by someone that watch her every step. He looks at her trough a lence, he calls her frequently leaving disturbing messages and he sends her gifts in the mail.

Always some tention, often well told. Some great scenes and some bigger flaws that I don't like. OK acting and an all right thriller with some horror vibes and great paranoia.

With no doubt it's a homage too films as "Rear Window" and "Dial M for Murder" - the last one is so far unseen by me. It works fine as a cat and mouse game, but it never really impress.

6 out of 10 bozos.
