Sy Parrish has lovingly developed photographs for the Yorkin family since their son was a baby. But as the Yorkins' lives become fuller, Sy's only seems lonelier, until he eventually convinces himself he's part of their family. When Sy's picture-perfect fantasy collides with an ugly dose of reality, a bizarre and thrilling confrontation ensues.

Why isn't this considered a horror Every shot has real meaning Sound design is awesome Definitely recommending watching with a laptop on your chest, wearing earphones in a dark room
That figurine was not a good guy

I’ve never felt more creeped out by someone than robin williams in this movie. I know it’s all about messages and that sort of thing but I wish he offed the dad in the end.
