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.

'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.

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.

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.
