Laura Mars is a very successful fashion photographer who one twenty-four hours starts to get visions of brutal murders being carried out. Troubled and in fear for her sanity, Laura turns to the constabulary for help. But this only adds to her issues as Detective Neville points out to her that the murder scenes bare similarities to some of her staged photographs. The pair of them must effigy it out quickly because the murderer is closing in on Laura and those shut to her.
In 1978, John Carpenter thrilled horror fans with his infant sitting terror piece, Halloween. Too released was this mystery/thriller/horror film, written past Carpenter and directed by Irvin Kershner {The Empire Strikes Back} which is a film that has been called anything from innovative to outright rubbish. The truth is that where Halloween is a horror pic of no character substance, Eyes Of Laura Mars is a completely different creature. Information technology's bright blending of 70s fashion photography with Carpenter'south dastardly tale {tho the final draft was tampered by many}, is a success. This is a psychological thriller outset and foremost, yes horror elements are in that location {it's a done deal with a series killer on the loose}, but running alongside a clever romantic angle, the flick gains an intensity that few other 70s psychological thrillers can boast.
The cast, other than an insipidly hammy Raul Julia, besides come up out rather well. Faye Dunaway {Mars}, Tommy Lee Jones {Neville}, Brad Dourif {horror staple that he is} and Rene Auberjonois give credit to well formed characters. Technically information technology's a fine picture every bit well, Irvin Kershner and his cinematographer Victor J. Kemper excellently utilise the New York City location. Especially during the fashion shoot sequences, where the 70s and its glamour is fully realised. "Innovated" blurred corridor shots to portray Laura'due south terrible visions are creepy and highly constructive, while i would exist surprised if anyone doubted the impact of a mirror shot in the glorious finale.
Idea past many to have not aged well, Eyes Of Laura Mars is often consigned to the cupboard marked "dated", that's unfair because expert thrillers are good thrillers, regardless of age. Emotionally potent and pulsing with imminent terror, this is a badly undervalued, and forgotten pic. 8/10
