The Eyes Of Laura Mars. 1978.
Fashion photographer Laura Mars develops psychic abilities and is able to see through the eyes of a killer.
After creating Assault On Precinct 13 John Carpenter co-wrote this little mystery thriller starring Faye Dunaway as Laura who some how managed to gain the ability of looking through the eyes of a killer who is targeting those close to her. Tommy Lee Jones plays John Neville the detective who is looking into the killings. Brad Dourif plays the near stalker limo driver who seems mild before making a admittance to Laura and her agent Rene Auberjonois. Raul Julia plays the ex husband and seems high on the suspect list.
Film Critic Roger Ebert claimed he knew who the killer was not long into the film when he first saw it, hope he didn't blurt it out in the cinema and spoil it for everyone around him. When Carpenter first wrote this apparently it was to be a different killer but for some reason it was changed, no doubt producer Jon Peters wanted it changed.
Director Irvin Kershner and cinematographer cinematographer Victor J. Kemper managed to capture some good areas of New York and some streets that looked like they should not be walked down at any time, but seemed to enjoy doing the outdoor fashion shoots. Nice little American Giallo.
