Do You Like Hitchcock? (2005 TV Movie)
6/10
Harry Potter and the hot babe next door.
26 July 2009
If you are an Argento or Hitchcok fan, you will certainly enjoy this. It is not meant to be a typical Argento film, but an homage to Hitcock, especially Rear Window and Strangers on a Train.

Harry Potter lookalike Guilio (Elio Germano) spends the time, when he isn't studying German expressionist film (Nosferatu, for example), peering into Sasha's (Elisabetta Rocchetti) bedroom across the way (with binoculars). Of course, when he isn't admiring her naked body, he is watching her argue with her mother (Milvia Marigliano).

One day he runs into Frederica (Chiara Conti) at the video store, and sees her moments later talking to Sasha. After Sasha's mother is murdered, Guilio immediately thinks of Strangers on a Train (he is a film student, after all), and decides to do some snooping, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend Arianna (Cristina Brondo), who gets a short shrift.

Things get a little dicey when the girls discover he's looking. The video store clerk (Iván Morales) tries to kill Guilio in a Dial M for Murder homage, and is only stopped by his mother's (Elena Maria Bellini) new boyfriend.

Exciting suspense with little blood.
