How Fast Can You Guess the Ending of Amazon's The Voyeurs With These Chilling Easter Eggs?

For classic thriller movie fans, it's hard to ignore the obvious references to Rear Window throughout the movie. In Alfred Hitchcock's film, the main character is housebound in his Greenwich Village apartment after breaking his leg. To pass the time, he develops a hobby of spying on his neighbors and quickly becomes involved in an ongoing crime. Pippa, who feels trapped by her lack of intimacy with Thomas, seeks out excitement in watching her own neighbors, even going so far as to buy a pair of binoculars just like L. B. "Jeff" Jefferies.

As with any good thriller, The Voyeurs uses fashion to convey warning signs about specific characters and scenes. Obvious signs include the "Stress" t-shirt Thomas is wearing when Pippa becomes too involved in Julia and Sebastian's lives and Pippa and Thomas's bandit Halloween costumes which they wear while on a mission to infiltrate their neighbors' home.

Another obviously symbolic moment occurs when Julia is trying on glasses at Pippa's optometry clinic. "The great thing about getting new glasses is you get to decide who you want to be," Pippa says before Julia replies, "I guess I am the femme fatale," which alludes to the fact that she knows she's playing a role for Pippa and Thomas.

More subtle examples include Julia's love for the color red, including the red coat she wears when she first meets Pippa, the burgundy coat she wears to Spa Du Tilleul, her red glasses at the exhibit, and the red coat and orange gloves and beret she wears after leaving her interview about The Voyeurs photography experiment. These colors turn her into an automatic red flag. Similarly, Pippa is rarely seen in a sweater or top that isn't covered in stripes, labeling her as a target.

After watching the film all the way through, Pippa's revenge-filled twist ending makes a lot more sense. Looking back, the close-ups of eyeballs behind the opening credits and the soft-boiled eggs being sliced during transition scenes tell us that what we're seeing is flawed. This same symbolism comes across when Thomas breaks one of the binocular lenses but Pippa continues to use them, and again when the lead optometrist at Pippa's clinic gifts her with a bird feeder.

The box is covered in a bird-themed wrapping paper — a possible callback to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds — and the fact that the bird feeder is shaped like a lantern indicates that it's meant to illuminate something in Pippa's life. "When you see birds drinking from this outside your window, let it be a little reminder of how imperfect our own species' vision is," the optometrist tells her, further foreshadowing the lies Julia and Sebastian reveal to Pippa later on.

After Thomas's death — foretold by his "Curious" brand chlorophyll water — Pippa clears her stuff out of the apartment to get a fresh start. When she takes down the bird feeder, which Thomas filled with poisoned chlorophyll water, she looks down to find eight dead birds on the grates beneath the window. In this way, the lantern alerted Pippa to the fact that Thomas was actually poisoned and further tied into the film's overall message that "things aren't always as they seem."

Sitting across from Sebastian at Le Bar Royal, Pippa tells the story of The Ass and His Masters from the Fables of Aesop. In Pippa's version, there's a donkey owned by an herb farmer who doesn't feed him well, so the donkey goes to Jupiter, the god of the sky and thunder, to ask for a new master. At the donkey's next job, the potter he works for forces him to carry heavy bricks on his back, leaving him in constant pain. The donkey returns to Jupiter to ask for a new master, and Jupiter agrees to do so on the condition that this is his final master. The donkey agrees, and the next day he's sold to a leather tanner who hangs and skins him.

"The moral of the story is, he who finds discontentment in one place is unlikely to find happiness in another," Pippa says before Sebastian insists the fable is just a story people tell to make themselves feel better. Throughout the film, Pippa is visibly frustrated by the lack of intimacy between her and Thomas and she lusts after Sebastian. After finally sleeping with him, aka seeking contentment somewhere else, she realizes he was out to hurt her all along, making the fable horribly ironic.

Our eyes take cues from what we see on screen, whether we realize it consciously or not. In making The Voyeurs, the crew used classic thriller techniques to guide us and leave clues about who to trust and what to expect in every scene. Like seeing Pippa for the first time through the crack in the curtain at the start of the film, each shot in the film is purposeful. For example, nearly 12 minutes into the movie, Pippa and Thomas can be seen spying on their neighbors behind a large three-paneled window. Pippa stands on the left while Thomas drifts to the right, leaving a large third panel between them and symbolizing their eventual divide.

Later in the movie, the same technique is used when Pippa and Julia are at Spa Du Tilleul. While discussing Pippa's problems in the sauna, the pair sit close together, but when they move onto Julia's story, they're sitting in a tiled room with a huge frosted window between them, indicating that Julia is keeping her emotional distance from Pippa. Once we find out that Julia and Sebastian have been watching Pippa and Thomas the whole time, the camera angles begin to make even more sense.

Mirrors and lighting also play a key role in the film, often illuminating Thomas when he makes points about not spying on the neighbors and shrouding Pippa in darkness when she argues with him. When Pippa meets Sebastian in person for the first time, his face is shown via a reflection in a mirror beside the bar, indicating that he's two-sided. Towards the end of the film, after learning about the exhibit and Julia and Sebastian's secret, Pippa is also shown standing with a bathroom mirror behind her, alluding to the fact that she has a secret, aka her plan for revenge.

The beginning and end of the film are marked by Angel Olsen's cover of "Eyes Without a Face," originally performed by Billy Idol. The song's lyrics, including, "It's easy to deceive / It's easy to tease / But hard to get release," are ironic considering Pippa gets her revenge by taking Julia and Sebastian's eyesight from them. Going into the film, the song sets us up for a thrilling adventure and playing us out, it highlights Pippa's final act as a major "don't f*ck with me" moment.
