A teenage boy lives in social isolation and antagonizes his stepmother on account of his mother's death. He also has developed voyeuristic habits. One day he packs his things and leaves for Edinburgh where he finds a job and meets his mother's lookalike.
Not exactly the smartest film of all times, nor the most original, but I found myself watching it painlessly, and especially enjoying Forlani's performance. She builds a very sexy character. It is curious to observe how several hitchcockian themes and imagery (from Vertigo, Rear Window, Suspicion, Shadow of a Doubt, Saboteur, and who knows what more) were incorporated into a film which is very non-hitchcockian in style.
