Peeping Tom

i just adored this film, it is a fascinating character study on childhood trauma and the psychology of paraphilias, while putting the audience in the shoes of a voyeuristic spectator themselves
it’s age did not hurt it at all either, the writing and camera work is still fantastic

Here voyeurism itself looks outwards and inwards, confounding perpetrator and victim, filmmaker and viewer, camera and phallic weapon, while observing a pathology as metacinematic as it is psychiatric.

mark was soooo good. so obsessed, so frightening, and the film didn’t need the gore to be entertaining and horrifying!!! and god i love technicolor!!

Ahead of its time with the meta elements on filmmaker and audience, the audience’s compliancy in the act by watching it. As well as the themes of trauma, which seems to be explored in every horror movie now; there’s also self-reflective elements from Michael Powell in the script
