Williams plays "Sy the Photo Guy", a film processor at a local SavMart super-store. Through his lonely existence, he becomes unnaturally enamored with, the Yorkins, a seemingly ideal American family.

This is a really good suspense film, but one that has it's faults. All of our characters are well defined and well cast in their roles. Williams' Sy Parrish, while certainly interesting, leaves little guesswork as to his state of mind. Early scenes of him being interviewed by police coupled with poorly written, definitive voiceovers leave his instability in your face.

This leaves us only to wait for him to crack, to act on his dependency with the Yorkins. There also is no confrontation beforehand with Sy. No daddy telling crazy guy to back off scene. This is okay, but given our predetermined understanding of Sy's misaligned mind it may have added to the drama depth.

But the drama depth takes a different turn when Sy learns that the Yorkins' are far from the ideal American family. This is when he begins to crack. There is considerable drama at the point when we're not sure exactly what Sy will do.

I was impressed too, by the cinematography efforts. The Yorkins' home life is presented in a rainbow of colors while Sy's existence in a bleached white environment eludes to his alienation.

A nice vehicle for Williams and an above average suspense film, but it is the fault of the script that I never was convinced Sy was creepy or scary; because I knew he was nuts all along.
