Carpenter's 1978 production "Someone's Watching Me" is a great piece of Television. It shows the enormous promise that John Carpenter had at the time and helped to hone the filmmaking skills he'd apply to his following project, the horror classic "Halloween". It might be a network television production, photographed in only 18 days, but it proves to be much more accomplished piece of filmmaking than a great many writer/directors are currently knocking out with 7 figure budgets and 90 day shooting schedules. It's far from Carpenter's best work, but it's essential viewing for anyone interested in his work or those looking for 90 minutes of tightly scripted thrills.
