Someone’s Watching Me!

1h 37m

Directed by John Carpenter • 1978 • United States
Starring David Birney, Lauren Hutton, Adrienne Barbeau

She’s beautiful, successful, and has just moved into a glamorous high-rise apartment in Los Angeles. But strange events and an ominous, unseen stalker soon turn the charmed life of television director Leigh Michaels (Lauren Hutton) into a bare-knuckled fight for survival. Written and directed by John Carpenter (just prior to his breakout hit HALLOWEEN), this taut, efficiently crafted thriller delivers expertly deployed tension alongside an intriguing exploration of high-tech voyeurism, urban alienation, and feminist resistance.
