Anecdotes
Originally conceived and shot as a more straightforward thriller, partway through production it was decided to embrace the then-current slasher genre and introduce more gore and violence.

Gaffes
During one of the last scenes of the movie, a man rips Jennifer's top completely from front but during next few seconds her top is intact but later on when she goes to bathroom her top is ripped again.

Citations
[first lines]
TV Reporter: Police say the body was found early this morning by a wildlife photographer in a mangrove swamp off Key Biscayne. The victim's clothes were in disarray, and police believe she may have been the victim of an assault. This is possibly the third rape/murder in as many weeks. However, police are not willing to say the murders are connected.

Autres versions
Although the print submitted was the heavily edited U.S R-rated one, UK cinema and video versions were cut by a further 1 min 25 secs by the BBFC with edits made to shots of nudity and heavy cuts to the belt strangulation scene. While the 18-rated version of the film was the BBFC-approved cut version, Warner did in fact issue an uncut version rated X prior to this in the early 1980s.

Head Shot...

EYES OF A STRANGER is far better than one might expect. LOVE BOAT's Lauren Tewes is quite good as Jane Harris, the TV anchor turned Nancy Drew sleuth. Jennifer Jason Leigh is very convincing as Harris' blind, traumatized sister, Tracy. They have no idea that they're living in the apartment building right next to that of a repugnant serial-rapist / murderer. The very killer that Jane has been reporting on every night!

As fate would have it, Jane stumbles upon evidence that could point to the man's identity. We're shown early on that she's right, and said maniac gets wise to her snooping. He's a pretty intimidating person, played well by John DiSanti.

This movie is a solid thriller with a surprisingly high gore quotient provided by maestro Tom Savini. The "fish tank" scene is most memorable. The rest is mostly by the numbers, with the real exception being the effort put in by Ms.' Tewes and Jason Leigh...
