Movie critics always end up dismissing TV movies done in a director’s career as not really counting as “movies.” Why the hate? Take for example Peyton Reed (Ant-Man and Wasp). What’s his first film? Most people reviewing will immediately declare it was the cheerleader epic Bring It On. But he made two made for tv movies before that including a remake of The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes with Kirk Cameron and The Love Bug starring Bruce Campbell. But they get dismissed as his first feature films. Why is Peyton’s The Love Bug not given the same “love” as Lindsay Lohan’s Herbie Fully Loaded? You make a TV movie with the same camera and film as a “theatrically released” movie. Even John Carpenter made a few of them and now his Someone’s Watching Me! is on Blu-ray.

What she doesn’t know is someone nearby has a great view of her. While she’s at the studio director television shows, her eyeballing neighbor gets obsessed with her. He starts to call her claiming to be from “Excursions Unlimited.” The pervert begins breaking into her place and leaving her surprise gifts. The police refuse to do anything since her life hasn’t been threatened. She has to investigate herself with the help of her work pal Sophie (Maude’s Adrienne Barbeau) and boyfriend Paul Winkless (David Birney’s Bridget Loves Bernie). Can they spot the stranger that’s staring across the way at Leigh?

While Carpenter made Someone’s Watching Me! before he embarked on Halloween, the network didn’t run the movie until after Halloween became a hit at the box office. This was a smart move since the home audience was set up for a suspenseful film about a woman being stalked. Of course since this was TV movie and not a movie theater, viewers knew that they weren’t going to see a bunch of blood and guts across the screen. But Carpenter cranks up the tension so that viewers would immediately race to close all the curtains in their house during a commercial break. Someone’s Watching Me! is simply a fine film even if you only had to turn on your TV and turn the dial to the right channel.
