One Hour Photo (2002)
from Horror Queers · host Horror Queers
Prep your photo wall and cancel the room service because we're talking Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo (2002). C/W: Childhood sexual abuse Starring Robin Williams, this combination character study/thriller finds the comedian playing against type as an awkward photo technician who fantasizes about the perfect life of one particular family. Plus: Detective Photographer; 2000s hairdos; early influencer horror; and plenty of debate about when and how the "twist" is used (with comparisons to other texts like Psycho and Mysterious Skin) CORRECTION: We mistakenly state that Nine Inch Nails covered Johnny Cash's "Hurt", when it's very much the other way around.
