It's never clear just what Windows hopes to accomplish. It's not a mystery, nor is it particularly a thriller, which essentially leaves it a wacky PTSD drama after Talia Shire is tortured in the film's opening. Shire's appeal has always been lost on me, which is why it's delightful watching her clumsily attempt to stutter and endure psychological torment. She's a serious liability, not really a reactionary enough actress to fit the film's tone. The premise is amusing enough; Elizabeth Ashley is Shire's obsessed lesbian neighbor who's tormenting her to bring them closer together. Her goofiest effort involves killing Shire's cat by trapping it in the freezer. Such amusingly demented moments are far and few.
