A family is terrorized by a delusional photo developer (Robin Williams).
Okay, kids, long ago we had to take actual physical photographs on film and these were developed and printed by strangers in malls and drug stores.
Even beyond the depiction of outdated technology, this movie feels like a throwback to an earlier time where you could call your movie "The Stranger on Main Street!!!" and just do Theremin music for 85 minutes and finally reveal it's about the Red Scare.
At the risk of spoilers, a couple of people are briefly inconvenienced* but no one is murdered. Hell, there's not even property damage. I'm really disappointed because this was supposed to be an incredible performance by Robin Williams and it's just... a dramatic one? Like, the man had range. It's not a shock that he would be good here.
Community fans, do keep an eye out for Jim Rash as the creepy porn guy. ER fans, Eriq La Salle is in this (and still looked great, btw), and you can also catch Clark Gregg before he spent almost two decades as Agent Coulson for Marvel. And the TPS Report guy from Office Space is playing another asshole corporate guy.
If you are more into psychological tension, unstable weirdos, or really gore-averse, this is probably for you. It is only available for rent right now.
*terrorized and in fear for their lives
