Strangely close to


Carpenter's Someone is Watching Me! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078295/
But the scenario is far less convincing and have more plot holes...

Did the filmmaker acknowledge the influence ?

I haven't seen the film, but in this film is the motive of the stalker just to make her unhappy as he is? Cause in my opinion that is the most creepy part of Sleep Tight

reply

Someone Is Watching Me was itself a take on Hitchcock's Rear Window. It's not exactly that original a premise. Sleep Tight takes a different approach and has a different type of villain, who is the main character, while in Someone is Watching Me the focus is on Lauren Hutton's heroine/victim. Her tormentor stays in the shadows for most of the film.

Looks similar to The Resident starring Hilary Swank.

Reminded me of Pacific Heights as well.

There was another Spanish film where a guy gets access to an apartment and ruins the other guy’s life. I don’t think the guy was a doorman. I can’t remember the name.
