Review of Peeping Tom (1960) by Tara V — 27 Jun 2015
Controversial on release just as controversial on viewing some 55 years later.
The film is about film essentially. Aside from the pornographic elements which this film received on release and are virtually non-existant.
The film shows the killers victims last second reaction to their deaths in much the same way as a director (especially of horror films) wants to scare the viewer of his/her work.
The killer is the director (hypothetically of course). Im sure they don't have to kill several people in reality for experience.
What is more interesting about this film is that no major film stars or indeed studios/distributors are involved.
Every cinephile should watch this film to understand the element of surprise the director is trying to deliver.
