Plaion Hour of Fear

New York writer June has been struggling with writer's block for years. In the summer of 1977, it's swelteringly hot, and a serial killer instills fear in women during the "Summer of Sam." Obsessed with panic, June hasn't dared to step outside her small apartment in the South Bronx for months. And while sirens wail at night, she is repeatedly jolted awake by the maddening buzz of the intercom, which no one answers.

A claustrophobic psychological thriller, driven by a magnificent performance: exceptional actress Naomi Watts, as a neurotic writer, brings a gripping tension to the film from the first minute to the last.
