Phillip Noyce’s film version (1993, screenplay by Joe Eszterhas, who also wrote Basic Instinct) deviates considerably from the plot of the book. The film starred Sharon Stone, William Baldwin and Tom Berenger. The movie takes rather a simplistic stance on voyeurism, suggesting that wanting to secretly observe people and thus invading their privacy is part of human nature. Levin’s novel, on the other hand, tries to draw a line between man’s innate curiosity and pathological and compulsive behaviour patterns.

Carly Norris (Stone), a thirty-five year old book editor, moves into the exclusive Sliver building after the previous tenant falls to her death from her balcony. Shortly after moving in, she crosses paths with the mysterious Zeke (Baldwin). The two embark on a passionate sexual affair. Carly is also sexually pursued by Jack (Berenger), a failed novelist who also wants Carly to read his books.

Soon after Carly moves in, two of her neighbors (Keene Curtis, Polly Walker) die under suspicious circumstances. As she discovers more about Zeke and Jack, she begins to distrust the two men and uncovers shocking secrets about the people who live around her. Read more
