The premise

Inquisitive journalist Grace Collier is horrified when she witnesses her neighbor, fashion model Danielle Breton, violently murder a man. Panicking, she calls the police. But when the detective arrives at the scene and finds nothing amiss, Grace is forced to take matters into her own hands. Her first move is to recruit private investigator Joseph Larch, who helps her to uncover a secret about Danielle's past that has them both seeing double.

Horror Vault's take

When a journalist witnesses what she believes is a brutal murder through her apartment window, her desperate call to the police leaves her more alone than before — the authorities find nothing. Determined to expose the truth, she teams up with a private investigator to dig into the murky past of the enigmatic model next door. Director Brian De Palma crafts a razor-sharp Hitchcockian thriller drenched in paranoia and split-screen unease. What Grace uncovers is far stranger and more disturbing than a simple crime of passion.
