Soft for Digging and Mimic: Sentinel director J.T. Petty takes a break from scaring audiences to explore the connection between voyeurism and the horror genre in a documentary that seeks to scrutinize the psychological underpinnings of the fright films by speaking with both the people who make them and the scholars who study them. In addition to delving into such issues as objectivity/subjectivity, audience sympathy, and what the need to be scared says about the viewer, Petty backs up his theory about voyeurism's connection to horror by exploring the case of a man who was caught obsessively capturing video footage of his neighbors. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide less
