Eyes of Laura Mars (1978)

A slightly better than average suspense/thriller penned by Horror maestro John Carpenter but directed by Irvin Kershner. Fashion photographer Laura Mars experiences flashes of actual murders seen through the eyes of the killer and, worst luck, it’s people she knows.
Faye is believable in the Laura role one minute and the Queen of melodramatic overacting the next. Tommy Lee Jones gives support and looks weird being so young (I assumed he was born old).
It’s essentially an Argento style Italian Giallo film in English.
