    Impressive feat from Anthony Waller when considering his other contribution to cinema history is "An American Werewolf in Paris". He does good delivering a comedy-thriller that is high quality in both parts. Which unfortunately is also it's biggest problem. The beginning intesion, worthy of all the comparison with Hitchcock it's had, climaxes halfway through the movie, and makes it feel like the other half drops the ball. It's never bad though, and certainly worth watching. Especially now that a remake is due out next year.
    Please note Billy's choice of weapon when the killer comes at her with a power drill in the bathroom. That cracked me up.
    It also features a certain Sir's last movie appearance as the reaper...

    Impressive thriller, chock full of suspense and humor in an even keel. The script is somewhat preposterous at times, but ultimately this makes for a good time at the movies. Alec Guinness makes his final screen appearance in an unbilled role.

    This was pretty good actually, and does beg the question what would you do if you couldn't speak and were the only witness of a murder? The main actress played it really well, and there were plenty of twists and turns. Definitely a thriller that was worth the watch!

    A horror movie full of laughter and shrieks- what if you saw someone murdered but you could not speak? A well- done orignal idea.

    Many people will not have seen this film due to it being released about the same time as "Blink" starring Madeleine Stowe. This is the superior film and has a less contrived plot though admittedly a very similar storyline.

    A fantastic, and suspenseful, thriller all about a mute woman who witnesses a crime. This film is on par with some of Hitchcock's better work.

    This films a bit over 10 years old and they're remaking it! I can understand why, it's a great thriller with some really intense scenes and fun comedy that doesn't seem too out of place. One of the best "snuff film" films.

    What a surpise thriller (with a cameo from Obi-wan)! The scene where she's running down the hallway to the elevator is classic. The main character Billy Hughes' sister and her boyfriend are funny and almost steal the show!

    This is a great movie! Despite the story following "The Spiral Staircase" footsteps, it still has it's own story. Quite simple, Young Mute girl working for film crew, gets locked in, watches someone gets killed on screen-(or should I say witnesses a snuff movie being filmed) and then runs. The opening 30 minutes truly sent chills down my spine, after that opening, it becomes a rather mundane thriller full of predictable twists, but still, the magnificent directing by Anthony Waller makes up for that. There are a couple of scenes which might test your stomach, but still it focuses a lot more on suspense rather than gore.-(which in this particular case, was good)

    Extremely under-rated movie, do yourself a favour and borrow this movie... NOW!

    This movie is ultimately full of suspense, and some of the scenes are quite violent and gore. Mostly, this movie keeps viewers sitting on the edge of their seats.

    I liked this one....a good little suspense action film. The humour thrown in gave it a different sort of edge that worked for me.
