Eyes of Laura Mars (1978)
Member Rating:  
A shutterbug is haunted by psychic visions of the killer who is murdering all of her friends in this hit thriller. Intense and driven, successful photographer Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway) has made a name for herself by juxtaposing sex and violence in her glamorous photos. But at the height of her success -- and just as a media backlash is brewing -- she begins to experience daydreams from the point of view of a serial killer as he relentlessly stalks and murders her associates. Her unbalanced ex-husband (Raul Julia) seems like an obvious suspect, especially when his new girlfriend is murdered and he goes on the lam. But Laura is shocked by the prospect that the killer could be somebody out to discredit her work, which she views as an artistic commentary on the degradation of the modern world. Under the protection of police detective John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones), Laura is unable to save even one of her friends from a violent end. Soon, she finds herself inside the mind of the killer as he marches down a familiar hallway: the one outside her own door. Co-written by Halloween director John Carpenter, Eyes of Laura Mars also features character actors Brad Dourif and René Auberjonois. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    I really enjoyed this made for TV movie. I thought Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones played thier roles well. The storyline had it's fair share of suspense that kept you guessing who the killer is. The ending is a surprsie which is always a bonus. I don't have anything bad to say about this film.

    My dad first got me hooked on this one. The 70s look is much more distracting now than it was when I saw it 10+ years ago. I remember thinking Tommy Lee Jones was very sexy, but now the look is less appealing :) A good murder mystery - with a twist :)

    This was a feature film in theaters, unlike the comment by Paula S. that it was made for TV movie. I saw it in the theater while in college. It is a great thriller and I thought Faye Dunaway was excellent in the leading role.
