Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

severine rubis Lauren Tewes who accustomed me to the role of Cruise director in the love boat series is quite good and surprising in this thriller "The eyes of a stranger".What a complete change! In love boat she is funny but light and a bit goody goody ,the innocent Julie mc coy who always smiles and waits for the charming prince. Here she isn't sentimental at all and that's a very good surprise! She is a news reporter who inquires about crimes and rapes and at the beginning we can sense that she is very focused and doesn't have time to have fun because of a serial killer who slaughters women and who lives opposite her flat. Moreover Jane feels very concerned and responsible of her sister who was raped and attacked when she was a little girl,which appears in a flashback when Jane is into her car looking at a yellow school coach and as a result the poor sister became blind and deaf because of the shock and unable to see and hear.She is traumatized because of this sordid event and wants to protect her sister played by Jennifer Jason Leigh who was very convincing in the role.It is a very sad condition for her and she cannot think about her future from a positive point of view.She will have to tutor her sister definitely. The killer appears very quickly in the story when Jane is in her car in a parking lot and she hides ,terrified to the idea of being discovered but i must admit that i found her a bit foolish and not wise enough when she decided to call the killer to tell him she knew who he was.She took a big risk and fortunately everything ends well for her and young sister blind who shots the scary guy but was it necessary to show her boobs and focus about them? I was quite puzzled near the end when Helen looks at herself in the bathroom mirror,which means she gained her sight again. This is a movie to be seen at least once but not so horrific as i expected it could be.It is sometimes gore especially at the beginning but there is not much violence in it. It is sometimes oppressive and the atmosphere is heavy and tense ..I liked this movie especially for the performance of Lauren tewes who plays a completely different role of the cruise director and shows more emotions and humanity .She could have played into another movies and wasn't given other opportunities that's a pity because she deserved better than Love boat.

louisb-399-524629 I think I would give this movie 3 stars out of 4, since what is good about it is often very good. However, the violence is shockingly explicit and gratuitous, which very nearly derails the picture. In fact, it is so needlessly explicit one is tempted to turn away from the screen in order to avoid it. Lauren Tewes is shockingly good in the lead role, so good that I now wonder why she didn't get more opportunities to shine. Jennifer Jason Leigh is also excellent, and I have to admit I forgot it was her until near the end of the picture. The identity of the killer is revealed early on, so the only suspense comes when Tewes begins to think she knows his identity and then begins to follow and taunt him. Some of this was compelling, but a lot of it was so unlikely that I had to laugh on occasion. At one point Tewes finds herself in the killer's apartment when he suddenly returns, and the way she extricates herself from this predicament is so unlikely that I laughed out loud(entering another apartment directly below and then casually walking out with the inhabitants eating at their table? Really?). The great film critic Gene Siskel gave this movie 2.5 stars out of 4, saying that without the gratuitous violence he could recommend the film without reservation as a well-made urban thriller. I agree with him, but for those who like these slasher-type movies, I believe this is by far the best. It's genuinely creepy and scary much of the time.

smatysia You can't call this a good movie. It doesn't get the slack you might give to a slasher movie, because while it has some elements of that, it aims higher, and misses. There was some decent acting going on in places. Lauren Tewes was pretty, but never really inhabited her character. John Di Santi was creepy enough, while passing as normal. But the writers never fleshed out his character, a missed opportunity, I'd say. Jennifer Jason Liegh did surprisingly well as the deaf-mute, blind sister-victim. She looked so young, and I guess she was. Gwen Lewis had a fairly long scene with a fair number of lines, and did very well. I was surprised to see that she never appeared as an actress in anything else before or since. In spite of the good things, there was too much bad (stilted dialog, plot holes, characters behaving in inexplicable ways) to recommend this one.

Tender-Flesh Going into this film, I didn't know anything about it, other than Savini did the effects, which is, of course, the reason I watched. Up until this point, this under-discussed film wasn't even on my radar and I only came upon the title recently. Glad to see it's finally available uncut.However, speaking of uncut, which is always the most important issue to me when watching any film, I found the effects to be rather subdued and maybe, given the nature of the film, that's the point.Jane is a news anchor. Her little sister, Tracy, was abducted and sexually abused at a young age, leaving her with unusual mental scars that affected her sight, speech, and hearing. Tracy lives with Jane in a large high-rise apartment complex near the bay. Recently, a weirdo has been stalking women, raping them, and, perhaps simultaneously, strangling them. A similar stalker is found in the film, Don't Answer the Phone, however, Eyes of a Stranger is a better overall film, even with subdued gore and sexual violence. The unusual aspect of this film is not only does Jane and the killer live in the same complex, she suspects him while he isn't even aware of her, other than perhaps knowing she's on the news. She is not one of his intended victims, he doesn't follow or call her. So, in a crazy twist, she starts calling him, smoking a cigarette as if she's just done the deed, all the while taunting him on the phone in the same manner he's done to several of his victims.It's a fun cat and mouse game, where at times it seems as if there are two cats. The rape scenes are not overly aggressive and a few cut throats and a gunshot wound are all we get from Tom Savini. However, I do recommend this one if you want something a little different, and, perhaps, a little more realistic. The killer isn't your typical hack and slash, like so many 80's killers. He's just a guy. Someone you pass every day or maybe you bought insurance from him. That makes it scarier. Enjoy.
