SKINOPSISSharon Stone continued to ride the erotic thriller wave with this mystery that's loaded with voyeurism, murder and sex. Sharon shows boobs and butt, but, inexplicably, she leaves her sliver out of it this time. The unrated version ups the sex and skin even higher. -- Rick Stanko

REVIEW
No, the title doesn't refer to the amount of logic within the plot, but to a Manhattan luxury high-rise apartment building plagued by a series of unexplained deaths. Stone plays a recently divorced and sexually frustrated book editor (it could happen) who moves into the "horror high-rise" where romance and terror await in the form of Baldwin and Berenger. As penned by Joe Eszterhas and stylishly directed by Noyce, what might have been a trenchant study of voyeurism and social responsibility is reduced to a slick, trashy and befuddled whodunit with a dime-store resolution.
