[edit] Synopsis

A woman realizes that she is being watched in her apartment by someone. That person makes threatening calls to her. She reports it to the police, who don't take her seriously, so she decides to take action on her own.

[edit] Details

  • Among fans, this is often referred to as "the lost Carpenter film" due to its scarce availability on home video for many years. Warner Bros. eventually released the movie on DVD on September 25, 2007.
  • This was the first time Carpenter worked with Adrienne Barbeau, who he married in 1979. Barbeau later starred in The Fog (1980) and had a supporting role in Escape from New York (1981).
  • John Carpenter was nominated for the 1979 Edgar Award of Best Television Feature or Miniseries for this film.
