PEEPING TOM New 4K Restoration
A scandal when it was released in 1960, PEEPING TOM was critically vilified and seriously damaged the career of director Michael Powell. It has since become both a cult classic and the subject of serious academic consideration. An icy Carl Boehm stars as an aspiring filmmaker who shoots pretty girls for his "documentary" on the nature of fear, using his tricked-out camera that can K*ll even as it films. Anna Massey plays the downstairs neighbor with whom he begins a tentative friendship. The psychologically acute screenplay is from World War II cryptographer and polymath Leo Marks.
