Hey, was just wondering if anyone on the forum could help me with a movie question? Would greatly appreciate it.
There is a movie I remember watching on television when I was a child, which was around twenty years ago. I barely remember it, don't even exactly know what the plot was about or who the actors were who acted in it, or wheather it was a big theatrical realise or a made for TV movie, I just remember vague flashbacks of certain points in the movie. My memory is very muddled, and I will try and describe it as best I can. It's been bugging me for years what it is and I would love to see it again.
It was based in a typical large American city, with large apartment buildings and skyscrapers. It was about a serial killer, he was white, with a medium build, brown hair and he wore glasses. I'm pretty sure he disguised himself with a large black overcoat and a bowling hat.
Intertwined with the story of the serial killer are a young couple who live on the upper floors of a large apartment building. The man from what I remember is some how incapacitated (not sure how) and watches the streets and the adjacent buildings.
He is watching the opposite apartment building one dark night when the killer suddenly breaks in through the door and kills two young men who are sitting watching TV. From what I remember he shoots something at them from his right arm and seems to remove one of the men's tounges. This is all viewed by the man across the street. There is also a segment of the movie were the man from the apartment suspects he knows who the killer is and somehow plants surveillance equipment in the killers apartment. The killer towards the end of the movie catches on to this, he discovers a listening device (think it's a microphone) hidden in a ventilation shaft in his apartment. Then at the climax of the movie the killer chases the couple on the rooftops of the apartment buildings and from what I remember the couple survives, however the man sustains a gunshot wound to his shoulder.
I'm sorry for the very hazy description of the plot, but this is all I can remember.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what movie this is. I would love to watch it again!
Thanks!
