The Voyeurs

— I’m pretty sure we didn’t need another film where someone becomes obsessed with watching what goes on in an apartment they can see from their window, but here it is anyway. There’s just enough titillation to assume it must be not just a “thriller” but an “erotic thriller.” I assume that helps bring in a larger audience who will find it appealing that the first half is mostly held together by glimpses of flesh and a growing obsession. Luckily, it did end with a few surprises and a twist or two that redeemed it, or at least made the first half seem a little less gratuitous. [Netflix streaming.]
