Someone Is Watching 2000
Made-for-TV chiller that packs in plenty of terrifying man-in-the-walls frights, but told like a haunted house movie.

Past trauma, creepy ex-boyfriend, theatrical Halloween party flashbacks, menacing phone calls, over-dramatics. Another shining example of why older TV-movies are so great.

In a fusion of sparkly, optical effects, homegrown gore, mind-bending shoot-outs, pulsing, twinkling synth and an infamously awkward sexual encounter.
These are the kind of backyard, genre films I live for.
