Synopsis
Another man with a movie camera, but with murderous intent! Michael Powell is best known for his collaboration with Emeric Pressburger in making such films as The Red Shoes (1948). Peeping Tom is much darker, but also features Moira Shearer who had donned the red shoes twelve years earlier. Mark works as a focus-puller at a film studio, but has a side-hustle in pornography and ‘snuff-movies’. Abused as a child, he has become a serial killer, obsessed with capturing images of fear and death. Highly controversial on release, it all but ended Powell’s career, but is now considered to be among the very best of horror films.
