Copycat (1995)

Sigourney Weaver plays Dr. Helen Hudson, a criminal psychologist and world-famous expert on serial killers who nonetheless is filled with dread of the murderer. She's terrified partly because she knows how demented the minds of her subjects are. Meanwhile, M.J. Monahan (Hunter), a terse, wiry homicide detective, has her own way of trying to catch the killer. ``Copycat'' goes from A to B to C with a pounding pulse and deepening shadows of foreboding. An opening sequence in which a killer -- but not the killer -- corners Dr. Hudson in a college campus women's room after a lecture sets the creepy, take-no-hostages tone. Hudson is so terrified by the incident that she becomes agoraphobic, terrified of leaving her home. Her high windows afford a view of an upscale, beautiful world getting on with its business without her.
