Loved it! Great lead actors, new age (original) take of classic movies. Overall super entertaining!

I just watched Eye without a face and it was unexpectedly really good. It's clearly inspired by Rear Window but not in a cheesy way. The actors were great and Charlie Clouser whose work I know from the saw movies did a great job with the music on this. I recommend this movie to people who like psychological thrillers that are character based.

Looking for a good psychological thriller ? Search no more. Casting and acting was on point. Highly recommended.

You have to give it to the filmmakers for that title. I mean, that took balls. Writer/director Ramin Niami is behind this story, working with his daughter Tara Violet as camera operator. It's about Henry, an agoraphobic resident of Los Angeles who has learned how to hack into the webcams of women all over town. He sees himself as their white knight as he watches them live their lives. His roommate Eric, an actor and influencer, wants him to head out into the real world and yet has no compunctions over getting to uses his male gaze on these women. Henry also believes that one of the girls is a serial killer. So there's that. Naimi was inspired by this high tech film by a story he heard on the radio, stating "I heard about a female college student who found * photos of herself on the Internet. The FBI discovered that her webcam was hacked and that a fellow college student had taken these images when she was changing in her college dorm room in revenge because she had rejected him for a date. This story inspired me to create a modern Rear Window." That's a high bar to shoot for and this film may not reach it. But hey - it's a great goal. This was a hard watch considering how much the way men behave has been publicized. It's difficult to feel any sympathy for an incel like Henry or a lothario like Eric.

I'm a fan of Hitchock, De Palma classics and newer horror like A Quiet Place and Hereditary. This film shines. Great actors and great looking film. The movie has some clear references to horror suspense classics but in an original way. But you have to have patience to get into the film it has a slow build. Some people say Dakota Shapiro (Henry) is like the new Anthony Perkins and I agree.

Psychological horror fans will like this well-shot indie thriller by Ramin Niami. Handsome, agoraphobic Henry (Dakota Shapiro) can't go out so he "meets" hot women online - only they don't know. Hacking into their webcams, Henry is a self-appointed guardian angel watching over their most intimate moments. When Henry suspects Laura (Vlada Verevko), his fave, is murdering her dates, things begin to unravel. Then, Eric (Luke Cook), Henry's slick, player, roommate makes a bold move -- setting off a murderous game of cat and mouse. While the film takes its time to unfold, stick with it. Niami's pace reveals Henry's complicated and damaged world view carefully, allowing Shapiro's empty blue eyes or motionless face to fill the screen -- eliciting audience empathy while, at the same time, delivering an oozing visceral sense that Henry's humanity is slowly rotting inside him. Seething creepiness and suspense are nicely balanced with bits of comic relief. But you'll still want to sleep with the lights on and the webcam covered.

To the people saying they picked the twist at the beginning and you'd have to be stupid not to - I watch a LOT of these types of movies and I still didn't *particularly* see anything coming. Henry's character was fantastic, so well played. He had all the signs of the agoraphobe who was on medication, but we didn't really ever find out what for and can only have made assumptions. I thought for ages his funny and entertaining mooch of a tenant was sinister but I was way off. Anyway I was never bored, even though it was slow in many parts it was always entertaining. Definitely recommend this little low budget thriller for anyone who likes a character based thriller.
