Prairie Miller NewsBlaze A sex satire touching simultaneously on mind-over-matter thwarted male lust and kinky female objectification, the movie also mulls the erotic possibilities inherent in flimsily constructed modern apartments. Sep 19, 2008 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Something akin to a "nudie cutie" from the old days, a softcore male fantasy movie, but a cheerful and spirited one.

Audience Member An erotic love story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is pretty funny in a sort of perverted twisted way. It's about a pervert who, because of thin walls, is able to listen in on his attractive next door neighbor, and whilst doing imagines scenarios that she may be in based on the sounds (so basically he fantasizing). Then, however, he learns of the neighbor's boyfriend and a bizarre situation involving a pervert caller who says he'll be with the woman soon in a very creepy altered voice. Our perverted protagonist, supposedly caring for the woman (though he mainly wants to date her) tries to figure out who the caller is and what the source of this bizarre garble is when ever he listens in on her through his own personal mic. As the story progresses the main pervert finds out that the woman next door lives in an apartment much less kinky than he imagined, and it is, in fact, a very nice apartment that is well furnished, and much less pink and fluffy. Throughout the film the pervert tries to get the woman to break up with her boyfriend, and he tries to prove to her that he is a good guy - though secretly he is as perverted as the other stalker who calls the woman with threats. The film is quite original, and it is humorously acted. The story has plenty of little plot twists to keep it both interesting and humorous as we follow this pervert's, oddly enough, not too perverted life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I feel like this was a fun, good, movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Weird movie. Had its moments but somewhat predictable Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member you just have to watch... :) So much fuckery! Literally... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Japan likes to stereotype itself. But it works when creating a plot out of something so seemingly ordinary (in this case, curiosity in the audible musings of the sexy woman in the one-room apartment next door). The movie is bizarre for sugar-coating stalking women, but his successfully empathized character and contrast with a true villainous stalker somehow avoids immorality.
