What movie was this?

I have a memory of a movie, which I think is a 90s thriller. The main character is female and she falls in love with a builder/carpenter who is renovating her house/(apartment?). He builds himself an internal hiding place where he spies on her.

I thought it was quite a well-known film, but I cannot remember the name of it when I google it!

The first one that came to mind is the resident? Tho it's not a 90s movie

inboxmayhem · 23/09/2019 06:28

Did it have Michael Keaton in it?

heronontoast · 23/09/2019 06:47

Did it star Sharon Stone? I remember one like that.

Definitely not The Resident.

Michael Keaton and Sharon Stone are good shouts but I can't find the movie. It reminds of the Pacific Heights era!

No, not Sliver. He was physically watching her rather than on screens. Right era/type of film though.

@DoubtingMyPatience it's SO frustrating and that's all I can remember of it!

@MistyReturns that looks along the right lines but it's not it. Adding it to my list!

I absolutely love 90s thrillers 😂. Have been introducing DH to Malice/Hand That Rocks the Cradle/Dead Calm!

100% not The Resident. Too recent and I remember watching it. I haven't seen this movie for YEARS.

I'm desperate to know now as i love these kind of films.

SpartanInTartan · 23/09/2019 11:21

Pacific Heights? Not exactly the same premise but it mentions a crawl space in reviews. www.imdb.com/title/tt0100318/

StephenKing · 23/09/2019 11:22

was Michael Shanks out of Stargate in it?
