The Bedroom Window (1987) TVRip x264
Terry Lambert (Steve Guttenberg) is having an affair with his boss Collin Wentworth' wife Sylvia (Isabelle Huppert). A serial killer is hunting Baltimore. After a tryst at Terry's apartment, Sylvia alone witnesses an attack outside his bedroom window. Denise (Elizabeth McGovern) survives. Later, Terry decides to call the police with a description from Sylvia pretending as the witness. The police sets up a lineup with suspect Carl Henderson. Of course, he can't help them but he starts following Henderson. Another girl is killed but there is not enough evidence. The prosecutor decides to put on Denise's assault case with Terry as the only eye witness. The trial goes badly and Terry becomes the main suspect.This has a bit of Hitchcock and De Palma. I really like the story. Guttenberg is the main problem. His character is already too clueless and too Polyannish. His comedic smirk gets into the way. I can imagine many other actors would be better in a psychological thriller. He is a hard character to root for. He is either a romantic fool or an idiot. McGovern is great, Huppert is solid and the villain is creepy. This needs a different leading man. He needs to be more innocent while Sylvia manipulates him. Also I'm not sure how the final scheme is suppose to work. She gets a disguise but then he should know who she is anyways. It has to work precisely or else she's alone with the killer. The whole plan seems dubious to me. I love the bedroom window setup. The rest is a mixture of good and not so good. 2ff7e9595c
