Die Watching

Die Watching (1993) is an American television movie, starring former teen idol Christopher Atkins as pornographic film director Michael Terrence, who moonlights as a voyeuristic murderer. The story borrows heavily from Michael Powell's 1960 British classic Peeping Tom.

Synopsis

Scarred by repressed memories of his late mother, Michael overcomes his inner pain through the merciless slaughter of various women. His killing spree is characterised by a very peculiar modus operandi: he films each murder with his camera and forces each victim into watching it as they die (hence the title). However, his dark side is penetrated via the romantic attentions of pretty neighbour Nola Carlisle (Vali Ashton), who seems intent on learning all she can about her handsome new friend...
