Summary

A struggling Hollywood actor, recently fired and dumped, house-sits a hillside home where he becomes obsessed with watching a beautiful neighbor through a telescope. When he witnesses what appears to be her brutal murder, he is pulled into a twisted mystery involving a porn star that forces him to confront his own phobias. Brian De Palma's stylish neo-noir thriller riffs on Hitchcock's Rear Window and Vertigo.
