Before ‘Immaculate,’ Sydney Sweeney Starred in This Hitchcockian Thriller
The Voyeurs puts Sydney Sweeney and Natasha Liu Bordizzo into a parasocial relationship that is inspired by Hitchcock's Rear Window.
It's often been said that cinema is an inherently voyeuristic art form by definition, allowing viewers to look in on other people's, albeit fictional, lives. Some filmmakers have explored this subject directly, like Alfred Hitchcock with Psycho and, more explicitly, Rear Window. The latter has influenced countless works throughout film and television history and its legacy continues into the 2020s, serving as a direct inspiration for the appropriately named 2021 erotic thriller The Voyeurs, starring Sydney Sweeney. The Voyeurs focuses on the sexual aspect of voyeurism and how it can lead to the development of parasocial relationships but keeps viewers guessing with a sinister third-act twist. Written and directed by Michael Mohan, The Voyeurs was his second collaboration with Sweeney, after the beloved Netflix series, Everything Sucks! Now, the pair are gearing up for their religious horror film Immaculate, which hits theaters on March 22.
