Production
[edit]Fowler commented on the presence of Hedren in the cast as follows: "even though there was originally no part for an older lady. She was terrific in it, and I earned my first screen credit."[4]
Reception
[edit]The MovieScene stated that Through the Eyes of a Killer "is not a bad movie, it certainly delivers plenty of 90s TV movie thrills and drama, including some of the semi-erotic kind."[5] while another review found "The actors do not deliver high performances, which makes the screenplay that John Pielmeier based on the story The Master Builder by Christopher Fowler even less convincing."[6]
