Mark Romanek's chilling psychological thriller stars Robin Williams in a brilliantly unsettling performance as Sy Parrish, a lonely, socially awkward technician who runs a one-hour photo lab inside a suburban department store. Over the years, Sy has developed an intense, delusional obsession with the Yorkins—a seemingly picture-perfect family whose vacation and birthday memories he has meticulously developed. When a hidden rift in their family dynamic is revealed through his photo logs, Sy takes it upon himself to intervene, spiraling into a dark and dangerous crusade.
