From John Carpenter comes this mildly interesting early television movie with Hitchcock overtones.
Leigh Michaels (Lauren Hutton) moves to a new high rise apartment in Los Angeles. She also gets a new boyfriend but she also starts to get annoying crank phone calls.
Leigh thinks someone is watching her every move, stalking her but she has difficulties getting the police to believe her.
Soon her boyfriend and a colleague get together to investigate someone from the apartment block opposite. Her stalker is getting more dangerous and always seems to be one step ahead.
This is a rather pedestrian film with a few good tense bits. Leigh never seems to be a very believable character, she takes the crank calls in her stride initially. When she breaks into someone else's apartment she never tries to get out quick even though others constantly tell her to run out. The ending was rather silly as if Carpenter felt hemmed in by network television rules.
