The Voyeurs

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.

I did actually think this was a half decent film - it's definitely watchable and has an interesting storyline. I do feel there were twists - to say there weren't is silly... there were.

The ending as another reviewer said was a bit umm rubbish - and very unbelievable.

But the concept of the film was different and it did keep me hooked - there weren't any sort of 'oh wow!' moments more 'ohhh ok' ...it's a solid 6/10.

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 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.

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.
