He Knows You're Alone

Slasher movie basics in the prologue, the credited actors are Debbie Novak and Russell Todd, Robin Tighman and Robin Lamont appearing later as the gimmick is revealed, in the first feature by the prolific movie and TV director and producer Armand Mastroianni, from He Knows You’re Alone, 1980.

Stalked bride Amy (Caitlin O’Hearney), out for a run with unattached buddy Nancy (Elizabeth Kemp), inducing the moment for which the movie is best known, the appearance of Tom Hanks, in his first feature film, as Elliott, shot on location at High Rock Park, Staten Island, in He Knows You’re Alone, 1980.

Director Armand Mastroianni and crew on location on Staten Island, bride-to-be Amy (Caitlin O’Hearney) has just parted from girlfriends and we see she actually is being stalked (by Tom Rolfing), but her ex-boyfriend Marvin (Don Scardino) remains in the picture too, in He Knows You’re Alone, 1980.

Grumbling cop Frank Daley (Paul Gleason) drops news on equally frustrated colleague Len Gamble (Lewis Arlt) who, it turns out, is eager to act on this new lead on the bride killer, his reasons explained for the first time to a third officer, in He Knows You’re Alone, 1980.
