User Review - 8/10 by Bill BVery disturbing and gripping. Mark Lester is awesome !
User Review - 8/10 by Robert HThere's a few scenes that are outright creepy ...and not in a horrifying way. I can see why the BBFC made them chop out a few (the asylum dream sequence specifically because it serves no purpose other than to make the viewer feel a little bit pervy). Luckily these instances are brief and you rebound right along with the movie as it returns to being a pretty great portrayal of psychological warfare between Eklund and the kid from Oliver. Oh and the last second surprise ending is absolutely greattt.
User Review - 6/10 by Shawn WA disturbed twelve year old boy seems to dislike his hot new 22 year old stepmom. Dad dismisses his spying on her in bed through a peephole. Some strange parts to this one, not the least of which is the long ending kiss stepmom gives the boy.
User Review - 4/10 by Michael WFilm that clings hard to a 70s feel. Stepmom and son battle each other while Dad fails Parenting 101 repeatedly. A few confusing twists, mostly due to crucial scenes edited out of the 'Peeper' version. Would seem to be rather controversial subject matter for then or now.
