His character as a photo developer exhibited a creepy mental illness. What is the mental illness called when a lonely person fixates on certain people & becomes obsessed with them in unhealthy uncomfortable creepy ways?

  • He was delusional and showed some obsessive compulsive behavior.

    I still sometimes think about the scene where he has broken into some family’s house and is taking a shit in their toilet thinking about being an actual part of the family. I hope to never come home and sit on my toilet and find the seat warm.

      Yeah it was a really uncomfortable movie. Thankfully I had no recollection of the toilet scene you mentioned 😳 But now you’ve put the image in my head.

      that scene made me stop watching the movie.

      I didn’t watch the rest for a decade.

      it was a fantastically horrifying movie.
