Looker (1981)

Shallow, narcissistic bitches want all the attention but then complain when they get a mustachioed stalker; there's no pleasing some folks~. All jokes aside, he's not a typical creepy stalker - he’s a hired killer.
The application of wild technology and industry for nefarious purposes is something Michael Crichton has explored before, but he takes risks as a director, so I was happy to stick it out even when things got silly.
The film resembles Westworld (1973) in places, but that’s no bad thing.
Most of the best moments are accompanied by an extremely effective, tension-building Barry De Vorzon score.
