Jane, a television reporter, believes that a recent series of brutal murders are tied to a creepy loner who lives across the street from her. Without anyone to believe her, she starts trying to prove it herself and gets herself and her blind sister, Tracey, in trouble.
While appropriately gory and nasty as per the slasher films of this era, Eyes of a Stranger also has a nice flair for Hitchcockian suspense. If one were to edit out some of the bloodier moments, it could pass as a sophisticated adult thriller. Also notable for an early appearance by Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lauren Tewes' sister.
