"The things that we fear the most have already happened to us..."

One Hour Photo (2002)
Directed by Mark Romanek, rated R, 96 minutes

One Hour Photo is a clever and unsettling thriller about a one-hour photo lab technician who develops an unhealthy obsession with one of his customers. Robin Williams shockingly delivers one of the creepiest and yet strangely likable performances around, in a role that will make you forget the funny, wacky comedian you know him as. The story could almost be a horror film, but builds to a rather unexpected and bizarrely unforgettable climax. One Hour Photo is a subtly effective psychological thriller, with a cold visual style and a gloomy, claustrophobic atmosphere. You'll like it if: You like creepy thrillers, bizarre protagonists, Robin Williams, Insomnia, American Psycho or Monster.
