I just watched this movie for the first time the other night on HBO, and I thought it was pretty good. It's pretty suspenseful, and I thought the performances were pretty good also, even though I'm not much of a Michael Caine fan. I think the only person that kind of was 'misplaced' was Nancy Allen. Other than her 'not so good' performance the film was.... alright.
Oh, and alright it was a LOT like Vertigo: especially the museum scene, and the beginning shower scene was REALLY misplaced and just another chance to see a naked woman.
I watched it with my friends, I must be dumb or something, but they all knew who the killer was, I didn't know until the middle where I figured "oh ok it MUST be -", but they all thought it was pretty phony and a waste because they were expecting a murder mystery and just got a murder without the mystery. And they also thought the "Carrie" ending was pretty retarded, it worked in Carrie, but not in this film. I'm not going to say what happened, but if you've seen Carrie then I think you get the picture.
All in all, it's not THAT bad of a film. If you have time than maybe you'd want to check it out on HBO. I think I gave this film a 6 or 7.
