CloseMark Lewis, an assistant cameraman at a film studio, uses his camera equipment to film the deaths of prostitutes he chooses as his victims. When his lodger, Helen, asks to see one of his films, he shows her footage of his childhood when his father, researching the psychology of fear, tormented him and filmed his distress. It becomes clear to Helen’s mother that Mark is ill and needs help but, disregarding police surveillance, he continues with his psychopathic murders…
50 years after its release, it’s hard now to appreciate the fury that greeted Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom. Although we can look at it more dispassionately now, Peeping Tom was then and still is a highly disturbing film.

I'm very excited to finally see this on a big screen. It's such a great classic, demonstrating Powell's genius for direction and clever use of colour and contrast. Carl Boehm is utterly perfect as the sinister central character. Well worth a watch!
