Juliett Lewis is good to look at. Even though her face is not beautiful, it is interesting, and her cute figure, accented by wearing mostly tank tops and not much else. Her boyfriend is played by William Hurt, who is the weatherman "who will do whatever it takes." She decides to move out of his place, and into an apartment she inherited, and we wonder, "will he do whatever it takes?" This is a suspense movie, but frankly it is pretty dull most of the time, and the actions of most characters don't make too much sense.
SPOILERS follow, please read no further.
Right after she moves into her new place, strange things start to happen. It is clear that someone wants her out. The tenants, the super, the locksmith, all act strange. She finds mice and maggots in her apartment. In a penultimate showdown, she is hit on the head and left in her apartment with the gas on. She survives, but then in the last showdown, is in the strange man's place, they fight into the hallway, her boyfriend shows up, the strange man goes over the bannister, falls to his death. She then moves out, back with her boyfriend. Then we see the locksmith painting tenants using a pair of binoculars. One of the pictures is of her boyfriend (Hurt) and the strange man at a table, talking. The boyfriend had evidently hired the strange man to scare his girlfriend (Lewis) out of there and back to him. He did "whatever it took."
