Peekers

I don't really like to think about Peekers. It's the stuff of nightmares and it makes me afraid to interact with stairs and doorways. It's also funny, and it has a great initial hook, but its chief achievement is headmess. I'm not convinced that the latter half of the film lives up to the first (possibly more a failing of the original short story than the film), but it doesn't have to; by the time the pudding is over-egged, the damage is done.

Director Mark Steensland's The Ugly File is apparently showing at DbD 2009, and it sounds... unsettling.
