Sliver (1993) is an erotic thriller directed by Phillip Noyce, based on the novel by Ira Levin. The film stars Sharon Stone as Carly Norris, a book editor who moves into a sleek Manhattan high-rise, only to discover a sinister web of voyeurism and murder. As she becomes entangled with two mysterious men—Zeke (William Baldwin), the building’s enigmatic owner, and Jack (Tom Berenger), a suspicious neighbor—Carly is drawn into a dangerous psychological game. Despite its stylish cinematography and steamy premise, Sliver received mixed reviews, with critics citing its convoluted plot and lack of suspense.

The film’s soundtrack, however, became a standout element, featuring an atmospheric mix of electronic, rock, and pop music. With contributions from artists like Massive Attack, Enigma, and UB40, the soundtrack helped establish a moody, sensual tone that complemented the film’s voyeuristic themes. One of its highlights is UB40’s cover of "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You," which became a major hit. Though the film itself struggled critically, the soundtrack found success, helping to define the erotic thriller aesthetic of the early ’90s.
