I saw this movie a few days ago and decided to review it, because this little flick is worth noticing in my opinion.
Right away, it is not something groundbreaking or an upcoming classic ,but it is a solid thriller. The plot is a simple but a somewhat fresh idea. I don't know if there is a movie with the exact same theme. I personally cant remember seeing one.Of course there are a lot of films taking voyeurism and/or stalking as a main ingredient, but our "hero" dives a few levels deeper. Just read the summery, add a little own imagination and you get a good idea what to expect.Watching the first 5 minutes will reveal the main plot as well.
The movie is beautifully shot, the cast delivers a good job overall.Only one main building and some other mostly indoor places represent a set for the whole action.I felt it was enough and worked well, because this is the environment the movie tried to show. Just another house next door. Might be under your roof. The result is believable characters and nice atmosphere through the whole picture.I did not notice a single scene which was too long or unnecessary. Everything makes sense in some way. The movie entertains and gives the viewer something to think about. You got split feelings for our main protagonist, you hate him, feel sorry for him, are afraid of him and find him exiting at the same time. Great thing.
There are also some scenes with somewhat disturbing or at least uncomfortable images to watch, depending on what you use to see in movies it might have no effect on you at all. Another plus, the end is not that kind of "good beats the evil forces again standard happy ending" It is an effective closing i promise. Kind of sad , with a little black comedy right in the mix.Well i felt that way, you of course have to judge on your own.
I give this movie 7/10 points and advise you to see it. Doesn't really matter which kind of material you usually prefer.If you just like good cinema, give this one a chance.
