English A hotel, voyeurism, perversion. Private Parts is a very slow mystery-thriller directed by Paul Bartel and features nice camera work by Andrew Davis (who would become the director of The Fugitive). The middle of the movie drags a bit - early on in the movie there is a rather unexpected murder featuring a decapitated head, and then nothing happens for a long time except the ominous discovery of some dark recesses in an old hotel and its strange guests. It soon becomes a relatively light-hearted and original homage to Hitchcock's Psycho, with the pretty captivating score by Hugo Friedhofer. However, it does not provide any major shocks or real horror. ()
