The premise centers around Henry, a socially isolated young man who spends his time peering into the lives of women through hacked webcams. While the film's concept is intriguing, there are moments where it drags a bit, making the pacing feel uneven. However, the performances are strong, particularly from the lead, who embodies Henry's anxiety and paranoia perfectly. The film does a fantastic job of creating an uncomfortable atmosphere, and the tension builds nicely, even if it takes a little while to get there. The ending is quite striking and leaves you pondering the themes of obsession and the consequences of invasion of privacy. It's not a perfect film, but it certainly has its moments that make it worth a watch, especially if you appreciate a good psychological twist. Show less
