Peeping Tom

Legendary British director Michael Powell delivered his last masterpiece with this psychological thriller. A tormented young man kills women with a movie camera to film and study their terror on screen. Perhaps the most personal film by Powell who dissects cinema like a lab rat where he teaches the audience few lessons about voyeurism and fascination of film. It's a fascinating film in many ways that goes beyond the plot and story. Karlheinz Böhm stars as the filmmaker with a dark secret. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
