The Voyeurs (2021)
9/10
A hidden gem
16 September 2021
Early on in 'The Voyeurs' I thought we were in for the typical 'Rare Window' storyline we have seen dozens of times before. How wrong I was. This film is very different to that, and has so much more going on. This is one of those rare hidden gems where you see an IMDb rating of only 5.8/10 and could easily discard it, but if you do give it a chance you are so glad you did. I had a great time with this movie.

The movie is hyper-sexual. Early on it implies that it is going to be quite modest, but this is very much misleading, and from there the film becomes very erotic for almost the duration. It feels very much like 'Basic Instinct' where there is a genuinely interesting story taking place and the eroticism is just a part of the ingredients.

The film is a little longer than average for this type of movie, falling just short of two hours. I found myself so interested and invested in the story that the extra time didn't bother me at all, and instead allowed the movie to move at a more natural pace.

The final act of this movie is bonkers. It throws everything it has at the kitchen wall, and most of it sticks. The twists and turns are authentically shocking and really caught me off guard. I can't recommend this film highly enough. Please see it. 9/10.
