Los voyeristas

The story is decent. Doesn't exactly keep you on your toes but does a decent job at entertaining you. There's liberal use of sexually explicit scenes which is intended to carry the film when the plot gets slow. The climax is somewhat unexpected which is nice.

This feels like a throwback to 90s erotic thrillers and I don't mind that. They're usually pretty entertaining regardless of quality and The Voyeurs mostly follows this. The film drags a little bit in the middle, but some wild twists keep things interesting. I kinda wish the film ended after the first big twist because the second was pretty ridiculous. The atmospheric cover of Eyes Without a Face is fantastic and honestly makes the film worth watching just for that. I can't get it out of my head.

Oh and my god what is wrong with Justice Smith's voice. Completely took me out of the movie.

I liked the overall tone, aesthetics, cast, acting, concept... But the ending was too much. The unreal twists have kind of broken the spell for me. I'd love to see this movie with a simpler more realistic third act.

Overall the movie was enjoyable. Production and cinematography looked great. All 4 leads did a very good job. The main couple was likable & believable and the 2nd couple were attractive enough that you could imagine people would be checking them out.

I also like the 'Eye' theme throughout. From the sublime opening credits, song choices, Pippa's job, to the scene when Pippa and Seb first meet we get a very artsy shot of just her eye, then his. It was all very well done.

There were a few things that occurred that I didn't see coming and I was very curious to see how it would play out. Also no spoilers, but I did actually like what I thought was going to be the main ending at the gallery. But then we got another 5-10 minute twist ending and that, IMO, let the film down a little bit. Sometimes less is more.

But overall a recommend.

This was categorized in Amazon as young adult and drama. What?!? This is a seriously dark and twisted erotic thriller with lots of disturbing things happening. I almost didn't watch thinking this was a teenage movie but it's not. Very much for adults only. I feel the reviews are harsh. It's really like two movies in one.
