Bad Influence (1990)
Directed by the great Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential), this is James Spader’s other late ’80s-early ’90s movie about sex, lies and videotape. In this one, he plays unconfident executive Michael Boll, who falls under the thrall of the larger-than-life Alex (Rob Lowe).
The peeping Tom aspect comes into play when Michael learns that Alex has videotaped him having sex with a woman other than his fiancee in order to break up his impending nuptials. Soon, another video is made, even more incendiary than the first.
