“Itu0026#39;s probably no surprise that John Carpenter was able to elevate the TV movie with Someoneu0026#39;s Watching Me. Itu0026#39;s a devilishly Hitchcockian yarn and Carpenter works in a few nail biting sequences and even some genuine jolts along the way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLauren Hutton makes for a great, likable protagonist as a TV director who moves into a new high rise apartment and attracts a stalker across the way who begins sending her gifts and creepy phone calls. She involves her new friend (Adrienne Barbeau) and a potential boyfriend (David Birney) who may or may not end up becoming fodder for the stalker.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSomeoneu0026#39;s Watching Me is a fairly typical and obvious story thatu0026#39;s been told in several different variations over the years, but Carpenter shows that heu0026#39;s a director of incredible skill. Hutton is quite amusing as the lead who has long spells where she adorably talks to and jokes with herself. Barbeau is also excellent as her friend, Sophie – an out and proud lesbian (and on 70u0026#39;s primetime TV no less!)”
