Unlike other found footage films like The Blair Witch Project or The Taking of Deborah Logan, we’re not working with a group of people who report their findings to their cameras. In fact, there’s hardly any dialogue in Looky-Loo at all, making everything all the more disturbing as you try to piece together Looky-Loo’s master plan. This lack of dialogue is further complimented by the absence of a clear timeline, or any other insights into the stalker/killer’s daily life.
Like I said, we only see what Looky-Loo sees, which is what he’s filming, and some quick glimpses of his editing setup. Without having a grasp on a proper timeline, I was immediately led to believe that he was filming the interior of his victim’s homes so he could meticulously study the floor-plans before returning to carry out his murderous impulses.
The deliberate lack of insight into Looky-Loo’s personal life outside of his “project” constantly made me wonder what kind of activities he was getting into when his camera wasn’t recording. For all I know, he lives a normal, unassuming life, goes bowling, plays board games with his friends, and goes to his parent’s house for Sunday dinner.
