VHS Box Summary
This riveting tale of murder and suspense stars Faye Dunaway as Laura Mars, New York’s most controversial fashion photographer. World-renowned for her sensational, erotic portraits of models in settings of glorified urban violence, Laura Mars exhibits a mystifying psychic ability. In her mind’s eye, as if through the lens of her camera, she “witnesses” a series of bizarre murders with terrifying clarity. All of the victims are people Laura has known. Police detective John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones) discovers a striking similarity between Laura’s works and classified police photographs of the murders, and he attempts to unravel the events which have taken control of Laura’s mind. The film builds to a spine-chilling climax when the Eyes of Laura Mars reveals the identity of the killer.
