Synopsis: Fashion photographer Laura Mars, whose photographs contain violent images, develops the ability to see through a killer\u2019s eyes. Detective John Neville notes striking similarities between her art photos and those of actual crime scenes and realizes that she can see what is happening through the eyes of the killer. Mars and Neville join forces to identify the killer before she, too, becomes a victim. Directed by: Irvin Kershner Writing Credits: (screenplay) John Carpenter and David Zelag Goodman; (story) John Carpenter; Tommy Lee Jones (monologue writer) (uncredited); Julian Barry (uncredited); Mart Crowley (uncredited); Joan Tewkesbury (uncredited) Produced by: Jack H. Harris (executive producer), Jon Peters (producer), Laura Ziskin (associate producer) Selected Cast: Faye Dunaway as Laura Mars Tommy Lee Jones as John Neville Brad Dourif as Tommy Ludlow Rene Auberjonois as Donald Phelps Raul Julia as Michael Reisler (as R.J.)

Harris as Man in Gallery (uncredited) John Carpenter wrote a script and it became Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). However, there was so little similarity between the finished product and his original script that Carpenter had little more to do with the film. Even so, Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Rene Auberjonois, Brad Dourif, and Raul Julia add credence to the movie along with Irvin Kershner\u2019s direction and some very Giallo-like touches. Where will the Grue-Crew, joined by Dirk Rogers, come down amid the muddled aspects of Eyes of Laura Mars? You\u2019ll just have to check it out to find out. Incidentally, did you notice Brad Dourif was in the film? At the time of this writing, Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) is available to stream from Tubi and multiple PPV sources.
