The plot sounds very similar to Val Lewton's The Seventh Victim

One of my friends suggested I watch this, and told me what it was about and it sounds just like one of my favorite films, The Seventh Victim, I have not done much digging, but I already know that this is a remake of the same title film of the 1970's and I was wondering if anyone knew if either of these was inspired by the aforementioned Val Lewton Film?
