Leigh Michaels (Lauren Hutton) takes a room in a high-rise apartment building where the previous tenant committed suicide. Soon after, Leigh begins receiving mysterious phone calls, getting anonymous gifts in the mail and finding that her room has been searched by someone. When a letter finally arrives in which her tormentor expresses his intention to kill her, she takes it to the police, but they're unable to do anything. Terrified, Leigh nevertheless decides to find the culprit herself.

Lauren Hutton’s Leigh ranks quite easily among the more thrilling female protagonists of the 1970s. And Carpenter’s script affords her a wicked sense of humor and gleeful resourcefulness.

Fans of Carpenter and "Halloween" will certainly want to track this down.

Carpenter's 'Someone's Watching Me!' isn't just good for a TV movie. It's a good movie, period.

3.5/5

Overall this is a standard "made for TV" movie, albeit with a few visual flourishes from John Carpenter. What sets it apart is Adrienne Barbeau playing an amazing queer woman in the 70s. What a character!

Like Michael Mann with The Jericho Mile, it ably demonstrated that Carpenter was someone too skilled to only be confined to boob-tube fodder.

the work of a true master of horror within the confines of the television medium. And it's got Carpenter's visual eye behind it, not to mention some genuine star power in lead Lauren Hutton

Solid 70's thriller that got lost in the shuffle. John Carpenter does a solid job to keep the pace going and keep the film suspenseful.

The film generates some nice suspense but its finale really doesn't live up to your expectations.

If you want to see John Carpenter do a made-for-tv knock-off of Rear Window, and have it not look or feel like a John Carpenter movie at all, dig in.
