John Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me came out the same year as Halloween, and was engulfed by it. It deserves your attention though.
During that famous run of films from the late 70s to late 80s, John Carpenter made so many stone-cold classics, cult classics, and pop culture touchstones that it seems criminal he’s not revered in the same manner a Spielberg or Scorcese are. Even when working under studio restrictions at this time, he could still squeeze some good juice out of anything.
But Someone’s Watching Me! makes for an interesting companion piece not only to Halloween, but to Carpenter’s most recent directorial effort for histelevision show. It sees a woman named Leigh move into a high-rise apartment building, seemingly needing a fresh start. Things begin quite well in her new home, but an increasingly obtrusive stalking presence invades her life, and nobody wants to believe her. So, she takes matters into her own hands.
Exasperated by a lack of help, Leigh accepts that she must take on her hidden foe, and Lauren Hutton’s already strong performance goes up a level as she defiantly turns the tables on her oppressor.
