Young publishing executive Carly (Stone) takes an apartment in an exclusive "sliver" building in New York, only to learn that the previous tenant, who bore a great resemblance to Carly, died in a mysterious fall from the apartment balcony. When other tenants of the building begin to die likewise mysteriously, Carly begins to suspect that a killer may be inhabiting the building and that it may be either Zeke (Baldwin), the voyeuristic building owner with whom she's become involved romantically, or Jack (Berenger), a mystery writer with a suspicious quality. (official distributor synopsis)

The combination of Ira Levin's brain and Sharon Stone's beauty is irresistible to me. Levine isn't just "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives" to me, but also "The Boys from Brazil" and "A Kiss Before Dying." While I understand that if most people remember Sliver as a hit starting on HBO in the dubbed version, half the charm is gone, but come on! We’ve got stalking, hidden cameras and telescopes everywhere you look, open conversations about sex, restaurant conversations like something out of Hungry for You, and sex scenes that even young Joe wouldn’t be ashamed of, and it all works perfectly. We also have Howard Shore's music and my favorite early 1990s feel, and now everything is complete.
