O que os Olhos Não Vêem, o Coração Sente

This film is what keeps me coming back to the Lifetime Movie Network screaming "I want more!!!"

Plot? Who needs it?

Character development? What's that?

Richard Dean Anderson? Yes, please! Give me more of that mullet.

Anyway, our good friend RDA is some kind of handyman hired to do some work fixing up this chick's apartment (I can't recall the actress' name).

What happens next? Let's just say that RDA takes his work very seriously. And by serious I mean super evil!!

He totally builds walls within the walls of this woman's apartment. He spies on her all the time, and kills a bunch of her friends.

Why doesn't she hear him rummaging around the inside of her walls like a drunken squirrel? Who cares! This is good stuff.

Not only does he live inside the walls, but he also builds elaborate metal doors that he uses to trap her inside her own apartment. You read right...trap her inside her own apartment!

That's crazy! That's scary! That's so Lifetime!

Does she escape? I won't say...just watch...if you DARE!!!!

Macgyver sucks. Marg Helgenberger (?!?) is horrid. The plot is predictable. But the eye? The eye is AMAZING! I tell you, when Lifetime Movie said that this was on following ROTOR, I was already looking for something else faster than you can say "Snap Dandy". The camera work looks like a first time college student at a rave, especially the first outdoor scene on the patio where I suspect the viewer is meant to feel motion sickness (or maybe it's the dialogue doing that). Overall, I completely suspected that this was intended to fulfill some cock-en-eyed television contract of Macgyver's.

But then the eye came on the scene, and I was all eyes myself. Helgenberger is looking for a cheap apartment in the Big Apple when she comes upon yet another rundown sleaze-hole. But just as she is planning to give it up, she perchances upon the eye pyramid in the window. She stares at it just long enough, and then...the sun shines through and mesmerizes her. She MUST have the apartment. And then Macgyver sees the eye, too.

And it all gets better from there.

P.S. Beware the Guillotine Room!

I saw this a few times as a teen in the late-90's. I remember it being epitomally raw, intense and seductive, particularly as a naive 13-15-year-old

Basically, a female artist hires a 'hunky' handyman to do work on her flat. He repeatedly rapes her, much to her delight; surely THE most disturbing aspect of the film ! Murders and other assaults follow; something to do with a glass eye in the flat window. (?)

If you fancy Marg Helgenberger and like seeing her having sex in black lingerie then this film is for you ! If you like all things of a dark, gritty and abyssal urban nature, it's for you and all ! Horror fans; no intro required !

Let's give it 9/10 for being sexy, gritty, disturbing and infectious. And for those of us who remember it, let's hope there's some videos of it lying around somewhere, never mind a TV slot !

I almost went No comment for this movie. Acting was really nice. All the actors brought their A-Game and I was a little bit surprised to see Tippi Hedren in this kind of movie. All that being said, congrats to all the cast and crew.

I have seen this movie 5 times, and I like it. I wouldn't give it top points, but it is worth watching. The plot has great potential, but falls short in places. Anderson and Helgenberger are very convincing in their parts, and are not the reason the movie gets 2 1/2 stars instead of 4, for example. It is a good thriller, and has a really suspenseful ending.
