Garry A @heavyg Aug 16 This had diminishing results, the more the film went along. I wanted to like it because of Faye dunaway and Tommy lee jones but I didn't finish watching it.

M @RT91944882 01/14/2025 Tommy Lee Jones as Neville in a great performance of a equally great character, alongside his romance with the titular Laura Mars and the soundtrack are the only reasons you should ever watch this barebones slog of a American Giallo that essentially strips down almost everything that makes a Giallo good. You know it's bad when it's more effective at being a Romantic movie than it is being a Horror and/or Thriller. See more Mike H @mikeho247 12/19/2024 As a huge fan of giallo, I checked this movie out based on its reputation as being an ‘American giallo’. While it definitely fits the bill with its stylish 70s era backdrop, beautiful women, a mystery killer and a police investigation the movie is lacking the visceral gut punch of its superior Italian counterparts. This movie would indeed be top tier giallo if there was a bit more visceral gore and a better defined killer. See more Chris D @RT91657385 07/15/2024 This is an intriguing film but I have a feeling it's been overrated through the years. What a concept -- a chic fashion photographer (played by Dunaway, fresh off of Network) has an unexplained psychic link to a murderer who's going around killing off top fashion models and photographers in late 1970s New York City. That's a delicious-sounding premise and the cast is stacked with interesting faces (a young Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, a young Raul Julia, Darlanne Fleugel, etc.). But it just doesn't come off. Kershner was not a natural director of thrillers -- and I don't know what director would have been able to overcome the flaws in this bumpy, muddled script (from an original story by John Carpenter that was almost completely revised and reworked). And for a supposed stylish thriller set in the world of high fashion, picking Victor Kemper (director of photography of naturalistic John Cassavetes films, Dog Day Afternoon, etc) as the cinematographer was an odd choice. The look of the film is drab with indifferent lighting throughout -- not appropriate at all to the type of film this is trying to be. A miss!
