He Knows When Your Alone (1980)

Part of the then popular slasher genra and best remembered as the feature film debut of Tom Hanks, this movie went through several titles before and during production and was finally released as 'He Knows When Your Alone'. The title is problematic because the film's serial killer, who focuses on killing brides after his beloved left him for another man, only kills one person who is truly home alone. He kills one guy who had been conversing with a woman in an adjacent room, one guy just as a woman was leaving down the hallway, kills a couple engaged in a trist, and his first on screen kill is in a moderetly populated movie theater. His other kills are (principly) woman alone in a room, but not alone in the house. Despite the descriptive limitations of the title and the movies often being slow, it works decent enough and is just slightly off the beaten path and contains characters a little more likable then they absolutly needed to be. **
