Carly Norris è una donna in cerca di nuovi stimoli dopo il fallimento del suo matrimonio. Come nuova casa sceglie uno "sliver", come vengono chiamati dai newyorchesi quei palazzi stretti ed alti caratteristici di Manhattan, in cui si sono verificati una serie di incidenti misteriosi e mortali. Tra i nuovi vicini di Carly ci sono Zeke Hawkins, uno scapolo benestante, e Jack Landsford, un autore di best-seller gialli che sembra intenzionato ad investigare sugli incidenti che si sono verificati nel palazzo. Carly, che lavora come redattrice in una casa editrice, intreccia una relazione con Zeke e respinge Landsford solo per ritrovarsi sedotta da un mondo misterioso e clandestino che mette alla prova i fragili confini che separano la realtà dalle sue fantasie più profonde.

Format:DVD
Sliver stands for Sliver Heights a tall elegant apartment building where people mysteriously die, it is here that quiet and lonely book editor Carly Norris (Sharon Stone) rents a flat and meets the charming and persuasive Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin) and tries to evade the attentions of failing author Jack Landsford (Tom Berenger).
An unseen menace lurks in the tranquil building, and a comprehensive surveillance system watches everything.
This was Stone's follow on film to "Basic Instinct" and fortunately she and Baldwin have excellent chemistry both dramatically and in the steamy erotic elements of the plot.
In the nature of the drama it cannot plumb the depths of the fascination of the voyeur being able to watch every aspect of other peoples lives. However the film does explore in a limited way the transformation taking place in the ordinary Carly Norris suddenly able to sit for hours spying on her neighbours, and that turns a small part of this thriller into an intriguing psychological drama.
Direction, acting and script make the most of a film that is a must for Sharon Stone fans.

One of my favorite thrillers bar none.Great performances from all three leads and equally as good as Basic Instinct.Sharon Stone plays a woman who moves into a fancy New York apartment where a woman was murdered.It's also revealed hidden cameras have been installed and her every move is being watched.
While there is no extras on the DVD and the killers identity is slightly predictable,Sliver is still top notch entertainment I can watch over and over.Great soundtrack and nail-biting suspense.

If you liked Basic Instinct, you'll most definatly love Sliver. Sharon Stone plays Carly Norris a divorcee who is on the road back to an exciting life. She moves in to a new apartment building in New York which the locals call Slivers. On arrival, she finds that she looks very similar to a woman who had died in the same apartment months before. As she settles in she meets Zeke Hawkins (Alex Baldwin) the sexy man of the building whom she becomes very closely involved with and Jack Landsford (Tom Berenger) From the moment Carly moves in she is closley watched and as she gets closer to discovering the voyeur, she gets closer to her fantasies. Not the best work Sharon Stone has done, but it's a good film with good supporting cast!

Great 90th movie
Classic! This version is slightly more explicit than the one that I've had on tape in 90th. Still rocks!

Worth just for Sharon Stone
This film is an obvious capitalization of Basic Instinct's success. As usual in these cases, it fails. Read more
