Synopsis
Sharon
Stone and William Baldwin
Phillip Noyce's film version (1993, screenplay by
Joe Eszterhas, who also wrote Basic Instinct) deviates from the plot of the book.
The film starred Sharon Stone and William Baldwin. The movie takes rather a simplistic
stance on voyeurism, suggesting that wanting to secretly observe people and thus
invading their privacy is part of human nature. Levin's novel, on the other hand,
tries to draw a line between man's innate curiosity and pathological, compulsive
behaviour patterns.
In March of 2006, to coincide with a theatrical release of Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct sequel, Sliver made its way to DVD in a bare bones, unrated edition. There was no special features (not even a movie trailer), and the film was presented theatrically in a 2.35 aspect ratio, the DVD features a matted, 2.0 aspect ratio transfer.

Sliver (1991) is a novel by U.S. author Ira Levin about the mysterious occurrences in a privately owned New York highrise apartment building, especially after a new tenant—an attractive young woman working in publishing—has moved in. Phillip Noyce directed a film, Sliver, based on the book, which was released in 1993.
Synopsis
When she makes the acquaintance of a handsome and
friendly young man who lives in the same sliver building she does not know at
first that he is the owner. While keeping a low profile himself, he turns to know
an awful lot about the other inhabitants including many of their secrets. It then
turns out that he is a modern day Peeping Tom who, unknown to everyone, has had
surveillance cameras and microphones installed in every apartment of the house,
with his own place in the building serving as his hq. The novel is also a murder
mystery, and the beautiful heroine soon becomes a damsel in distress herself.
