In my opinion a rather poor effort from Argento. Obviously this is a made for TV movie and playfully hints towards Argento's earlier work, as well as a number from Hitchcock (of course it would) but I found the acting to be exceedingly bad and wooden, especially the lead actor.
Julio is a film student obsessed with the works of Alfred Hitchcock. One evening he looks into his neighbour's apartment to spy on the attractive daughter of the owner and views what he believes to be a murder a la 'Rear Window'. Will anyone believe him? Including his temperamental girlfriend who finds out about his peeping tom behaviour and dumps him. If the film is trying to mock itself and the director then it certainly is succeeding, but if it is attempting to be a serious horror movie then it's failing miserably.
