Patricia Highsmith's 'The Cry of the Owl' is now a film starring Julia Stiles

On June 8th, Paramount is releasing the new horror film The Cry of the Owl on DVD. It's based on the novel by acclaimed author and suspense master Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Strangers On A Train.)

The film tells the story of Robert (Paddy Considine), a man trying to recover from a messy divorce by seeking solace in a small town. Robert becomes fascinated by the apparent domestic bliss of Jenny (Julia Stiles), who he secretly watches through her window. When Jenny catches him, she invites him in and the two begin a relationship, much to the chagrin of Jenny’s boyfriend. But when her boyfriend goes missing, Robert becomes the number one suspect in a murder investigation, leaving him to wonder if Jenny may not be all that she seems.

I've always thought Julia Stiles would make a great horror movie villain. The nice sublte kind.
