Review of Eye of the Beholder (1999) by Doctor S — 08 Jul 2011
There is much more than meets the eye with this one, I suspect. A complex psychological thriller as sheltered surveillance agent McGregor grows obsessed with troubled serial killer Judd - about the one thing I can safely say is that this is not a story you've already seen a dozen times before! I can feel myself wanting to like this because the pieces are there - mystery, suspense, voyeurism, intriguing performances, inventive editing & camerawork.
However it's just so damn perplexing, I've seen this three times and I still don't understand what it's all about! Apparently the studio execs had a hand in butchering the director's vision which exists somewhere on DVD.
I have to give this a passing grade of three stars simply because of the amount of time it has played with my brain instead of being instantly forgettable, such a rare level of engrossment has to be worth something.
