While the majority of us TV fanatics would never say no to a gristly documentary, there's one you may want to avoid according to some Netflix subscribers.
Whether it be the latest film and TV releases or an all-time classic coming back, viewers will always have their say.
One particular release is leaving people absolutely blown away by how creepy it is. Watch the trailer for a general idea behind Voyeur below:
The obscure Netflix documentary actually first came out in 2017, but for some reason people are still discovering for the first time to this day.

Voyeur tells the story of Gerald Foos, a man who owned a motel in Aurora, Colorado, but kept a load of secret spyholes tucked away on the property so that he could watch people have sex in the rooms.
To be honest, that's bizarre enough, isn't it? But it does get a lot weirder.
Foos was the owner of the Manor House Motel and became the subject of an article by journalist Gay Talese called ‘The Voyeur’s Motel’ back in 2016.
Talese discovered that Foos was being voyeuristic towards people who were staying in his accommodation, having installed grilles in the ceiling of many of the rooms therein that allowed him to watch guests without their consent.
Foos was primarily concerned with observing people’s sexual behaviours, and later said that he was conducting research on them.

He actually contacted Talese to tell him what he was doing.
Foos had an observation platform in the roof of the motel, watching what people did in private.
There’s a whole lot more to the story than that, too.
In fact, the saga turned into scandal upon scandal, with the journalistic intervention into the story arguably becoming bigger than the incredibly strange premise itself.

You’ll have to watch the whole thing to really get to grips with that, though.
Be warned, however.
The documentary was made in 2017 by Myles Kane and Josh Koury, and currently has an 82 percent ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the overall review on that website stating that the film is: "Absorbing, unpredictable, and overall compelling, Voyeur is a singularly unusual — and utterly memorable — documentary experience."

Fans seem to be taken aback by how bizarre and unnerving the whole thing is, too.
One person tweeted: “Voyeur on Netflix is SUPER unsettling. The guy is so f***ing creepy, and so cocky.
“He believes he did NOTHING wrong. Heebies, all of the heebies.”
Another person commented: “Just started the documentary Voyeur on Netflix. What. The. Actual. F***.”
