The Cry of the Owl is a 2009 thriller film directed by Jamie Thraves and starring Paddy Considine and Julia Stiles. It is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith. The novel was adapted into a film once before in 1987 as Le Cri du hibou.
Robert Forester (Considine), a depressed young architect, finds some solace in secretly watching Jenny Thierolf (Stiles) through her window. When she catches him one night, she unexpectedly invites him in, and develops an interest in him, eventually falling in love with him. This earns Robert the ire of Jenny's possessive ex-boyfriend Greg (James Gilbert), and ultimately threatens to ruin his life; when Greg vanishes after a fight with Robert over Jenny, Robert becomes the chief suspect in his disappearance.
