Wasted potential

There's a good movie buried inside EYES OF LAURA MARS. It has a great, giallo-ish hook-- a photographer obsessed with violent and erotic imagery shares a psychic link with a serial killer picking off her friends. Its set in disco-era NYC and shows that setting off to great atmospheric advantage. It's potentially a thematic minefield with things to say about violence in modern society or the fashion industry. And if it's uninterested in all that, it could at least be a fantastic thriller.

Unfortunately, the movie squanders its potential. It's too silly to be taken seriously and takes itself too seriously to be fun like most genuine giallo are. Plot threads aren't developed fully, characters are mostly shallow. The psychic link is never explained. It feels like a middling TV movie of the week with a budget, and little else.
