Joe Eszterhas' screen adaptation of Ira Levin's novel. Sharon Stone plays Carly, a lonely book editor who becomes involved in a steamy affair with Zeke (William Baldwin), a rich computer whiz who owns the apartment block she has just moved into. There have been a number of murders in the building, and when Carly discovers that Zeke has the whole building wired up with an elaborate video surveillance system, she wonders why none of the murders have been captured on tape.

The combination of Ira Levin's brain and Sharon Stone's beauty is irresistible to me. Levine isn't just "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives" to me, but also "The Boys from Brazil" and "A Kiss Before Dying." While I understand that if most people remember Sliver as a hit starting on HBO in the dubbed version, half the charm is gone, but come on! We’ve got stalking, hidden cameras and telescopes everywhere you look, open conversations about sex, restaurant conversations like something out of Hungry for You, and sex scenes that even young Joe wouldn’t be ashamed of, and it all works perfectly. We also have Howard Shore's music and my favorite early 1990s feel, and now everything is complete.
