The premise
After losing an acting role and his girlfriend, Jake Scully finally catches a break: he gets offered a gig house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills. While peering through the beautiful home's telescope one night, he spies a gorgeous woman dancing in her window. But when he witnesses the girl's murder, it leads Scully through the netherworld of the adult entertainment industry on a search for answers—with porn actress Holly Body as his guide.
Horror Vault's take
A down-on-his-luck actor stumbles into a dangerous obsession after house-sitting a lavish Hollywood Hills home and becoming fixated on a beautiful neighbor he watches through a telescope. What begins as an intoxicating, illicit thrill turns deadly when the woman he's been watching is brutally murdered. Desperate for answers, he plunges into the seedy underbelly of the adult film industry, where nothing — and no one — is quite what they appear. Brian De Palma's sleek, stylized thriller is a love letter to Hitchcock filtered through 1980s Los Angeles excess.
