A slow-burning, atmospheric stalker tale that predates and arguably influences the ’80s obsession with voyeurism and psychological terror.

• Early example of lesbian obsession in horror, handled with a mix of sincerity and dated tropes—an uneasy time capsule worth dissecting.
• Lean on mood and tension over gore or jump scares; the film’s claustrophobic urban setting amplifies paranoia.
• For fans of stalker thrillers like Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom” or later fare like “Lady in White,” it’s a grim urban folk horror in miniature.
• Practical effects are minimal, but the unsettling score and tight framing build dread the old-fashioned way—through what’s implied, not shown.
