Watchful Eye (2002)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent but underrated film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I'm glad to see that women like Renee Rea occasionally make it into the soft core sex film market. Renee has a girl-next-door kind of appeal, with a cute face and a refreshingly NATURAL body, free of silicone enhancements. The other women in the film are good-looking too, but they're all overshadowed without a doubt by Renee; you just want to see more of her. The film itself is rather amateurish and drawn-out. I can appreciate its attempt to tell a crime story between the sex scenes, but it could have it all wrapped up in about 70 minutes, instead of 90. And for a movie set around a California beach house, it is surprisingly cloudy! *1/2 out of 4.

Voyeur Beach is the unrated version of Watchful Eye. It contains more scenes than the "R" rated movie. Sure it's still softcore, but Voyeur Beach does have some full frontal nudity, and if you like Renee Rea (Fast Lane to Vegas/Malibu) she's one of the sexy women in this film. The movie is basically about this house on the beach where couples are being watched as they have sex. There's some suspense at the end but not enough to make it a major thriller. So if you're into movies like Digital Sex, or any of those "Cinemax-type" late night movies you may want this one. So get VOYEUR BEACH on Amazon, runs 90 min 30 sec, more sex scenes. You will need a region free DVD player, the DVD is REGION 3. Most of the US releases have been edited, including the so-called UNRATED versions!

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I saw this on cable the other night. A hot blonde moves into a big house on voyeur beach. The house is wired with cameras so that the resident pervert can spy on them and make some cash. The girls party, swim naked and generally perform for the camera. Soon the party will come crashing down as murder and mayhem supersedes the sex. We all lose when that happens."Voyeur Beach" is lame. For some inexplicable reason, the filmmakers were more concerned with propelling the plot forward than lingering on the sex scenes. The truly sad part is that the sex scenes weren't even worth lingering on. None of the girls stood out in this one. They all had quick two minute sex scenes and then it was back to uncovering the mystery of voyeur beach. The true mystery is why the filmmakers even bothered making this movie. If they weren't interested in filming sex scenes, what possessed them to make a sex flick? Ahh whatever. Yet another wasted late night for me. Don't let it happen to you too. Avoid this one.

Shannon (Renee Rea) finds a great place to stay at a nice price not realizing that the house is wired to record the tenants every movie. Think "Sliver" minus the horribly talent-less 'actress' Sharon Stone. The main problem with this movie is that the sex scenes are almost fleetingly short. Once they seem to be getting hot, BAM onto the next "plot building" scene. ALL the actresses are pretty cute and I wouldn't mind seeing any of them in other better movies. But as it stands this film sinks MUCH more often than in swims.Where i saw it: Showtime-on-demandThe Goods: 7 sex scenes (6 m/f, 1 f/f); a couple bath/ shower scenes & a risque photo shootMy soft-core Grade: D+
