The Voyeurs

This move started out fun and taboo... they're exploring/discovering a fetish. Then there's some interaction outside of the secret. Then the intervention but finally the obstacle was out of her way so her true flawed and depraved imperfect self could act on her real desire. The story here is really getting intriguing and it's different, as messed up as it is, but I'm all in at this point. Then the predictable happens, not in a bad way, just expected... but then it really sinks... next up cliche, not so subtle twist, cliche, cliche, followed by a try-hard wanna be profound, but completely failed, ending. This was a masterpiece for 75-80% of the movie and then it completely fell apart. This movie goes from a 9-10/10 to a 6/10 all in the last 25 minutes of the movie. I suspect some higher up just had to put their hand in the pot and completely ruined the movie.

The story gets preposterous at the end, I feel like it had one too many twists, literally just one less at the end and it'll be fine by me. Everything else was done brilliantly, not to say it would have contended for movie of the year but for what it was trying to do, everything was good, the acting, the directing, casting, the pace of the movie was well put out. Which is why I'm confused with all the twists at the end, because the movie was interesting enough without them.

It's just very fictional, like a watt pad novel my friends used to love reading in high school. As a whole, feels like it was stuck in-between two minds, whether to make it an erotica or not. The illogical twists and the stand out sex scene made it feel like they were trying, but there wasn't enough of it to consider it a "skin flick"(lack of better words). I almost like it as a regular movie, too mediocre to make it a priority on your watch list yeah but still worth a watch. It just feels like an adult movie that didn't want to be explicit, which is why that Seb and Sydney Sweeney scene confused me, it's welcomed, just confusing.

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.

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.

'The Voyeurs' feels kind of like a 90's erotic thriller, albeit one on a much bigger budget. Maybe there's a little bit of homage to that long-departed era?

To the plot: A couple moves into a new apartment together and can look across the way into the next building where they see, on their first night, a couple having sex. It becomes a bit of an obsession from there (one that would have been averted if either apartment had had blinds!) and things quickly take a dark turn into a world of voyeurism and exhibitionism.

'The Voyeurs' is decent entertainment, with a few twists and turns...even though it stretches the bounds of credulity to somewhere close to breaking point.

Sydney Sweeney is the main star of this Amazon Studios production, and if your happen to like seeing her with little or no clothes on, this is a movie you should check out. There are multiple sex scenes.
