Closed Captioned; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles; Director's Comments Viewed through our photographs, it would seem we have lived a joyous, leisurely existence. Sy Parrish (Robin Williams), who makes this observation, adversely leads a lonely life, operating a photo lab in a SavMart department store. He escapes his dreary reality through the family photos of Nancy Yorkin (Connie Nielsen) and her family. His admiration of the Yorkins becomes an obsession, as he fashions himself as Uncle Sy to little Jake (Dylan Smith). Sy's judgment becomes impaired by his unhealthy interest, causing him to lose his job of 11 years. As his final day approaches, Sy develops photographs revealing an indiscretion on the part of Mr. Yorkin (Michael Vartan). The unstable Sy now develops a disturbing, calculated plan to instill family values to the Yorkin clan.
Much of ONE HOUR PHOTO takes place inside a department store similar to a Wal-Mart, bordered in an icy blue. This cold atmosphere creates a solitary framework for the disturbed photo developer Sy Parrish, played with a melancholic detachment by Williams, working here against type. Director Mark Romanek (STATIC) has created a thriller with little violence. Instead, it is permeated with an uncomfortable fear emanating from its damaged protagonist. One Hour Photo Reviews: "...A polished thriller about how the images people use to construct and define themselves can be woefully deceiving..."
-- Glenn Kenny, Premiere "...[Williams provides] a snapshot of human complexity worth framing..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "...[Williams] gives a performance that is riveting in its recessiveness and, as a consequence, is truly, deeply scary....Williams remains electrifying..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Gripping....It's a smart piece of direction....Mr. Romanek's precision is breathtaking..."
-- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times "...ONE HOUR PHOTO takes Williams to darker, more complex places that we can't turn our eyes away from..."
-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "...Williams taps into pockets of rage and madness that make this picture electrifying..."
-- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life "...Williams pulls it off. It's a complex cocktail of a character....The effective result is enough to get you squirming..."

Haunting Picture
This is one movie that just leaves you creeped out. At the end of it I didn't really know how to feel about Robin William's character. This was one of those movies that you have to talk about after you see it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No psychological killer
This movie was suspenseful and surreal in some ways. Robin Williams was amazing here, a side we rarely glimpse but love to see.

Robin Williams shows us his really creepy side in this unique thriller.Basically,he repeats his character from his film,Insomnia,except he works as a photo developer.Overall,the movie is short and sweet.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines diva as "an operatic prima donna." Well these six pop superstars don't sing opera, but they are certainly equipped with the beautiful, powerful voices of opera singers. In this VH1 special event, Gloria, Celine, Aretha, Shania, and Mariah (all of whom are so famous that last names are rendered obsolete) join together for a spectacular ...

| | Pathology DVD (2008) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
One Hour Photo film
$9.69
The grisly and debauched film PATHOLOGY is a juiced-up medical thriller that plays like FLATLINERS with a mean streak and a broken moral compass. Writers Mark Nelvedine and Brian Taylor have created a premise allowing for CSI-like forensics along with heaps of sex and violence, truly making the most of the film's R-rating. A high-end exploitation film with good performances, PATHOLOGY is strong enough for horror fans and should go down smoothly for non-squeamish viewers with a taste for the dark side.
Gifted med student Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia, HEROES) arrives at a major Washington, D.C., as an intern, where he is met with suspicion and resentment by the tightly knit group of fellow young pathologists-in-training. Soon, though, Ted is accepted into their circle---where they each take turns committing a murder so that the others may prove their mettle by figuring out the cause of death and celebrate with drug-fueled orgies among the dead bodies in the hospital. Things change for Ted, though, when his law student fiancée, Gwen (Alyssa Milano), moves to the city and helps to scare him straight. Soon, crazed Wallace Stevens-quoting ...
