Aito CRITERION COLLECTION julkaisu, täysin uusi ja muoveissa. Ei suomitekstejä, R1. 

A frank exploration of voyeurism and violence, Michael Powell's extraordinary film is the story of a psychopathic cameraman-his childhood traumas, sexual crises, and murderous revenge as an adult. Reviled by critics upon its initial release for its deeply unsettling subject matter, the film has since been hailed as a masterpiece.

It has been widely publicized that Michael Powell's PEEPING TOM rivals the masterful filming techniques of the great Alfred Hitchcock, and rightly so. In many ways, it is even more daring, subversive, and groundbreaking than many of Hitchcock's best, which were the same reasons it was panned by critics at the time of its release and unfortunately was the cause for Powell's retreat from the industry. Its characters are brilliantly written and set into play in an imperfect world with a seedy underbelly. PEEPING TOM finds young cameraman with a troubling past that uses a spiked tripod to slay his victims as he films their last moments of terror for his own personal enjoyment. His murderous and voyeuristic tendencies trickle in to his daily life as the cinematographer for a local movie shoot, and it isn't long before the police begin to take notice of his sordid affairs. Bohm's portrayal of Mark is only slightly offsetting, generally exhibiting a calm and disarming persona, but with very subtle cracks where he compulsively obsesses over his camera and folds when confronted with the truth. His sunken eyes and forced smile are just a human mask under which a soulless killer resides. There are very few moments where Bohm comes across as anything but a cold machine, and they are each drawn out of him by the unsuspecting Vivian. It is only fitting that Vivian's blind mother instinctually sees through Mark's charming exterior, using her other heightened senses in an equally intruding manner to out her daughter's reclusive suitor. This is also one of if not the first movies to use the subjective first-person perspective as shown through the eyes of the camera. Many critics of the time found this to be a tasteless technique that forces the audience to relate with the killer and engage in his activities, but it is simply a tool used to convey Mark's scoptophilic obsession to the audience. What makes the film so uniquely interesting is how the themes of voyeurism infiltrate every aspect of the script. Even the police keep a hidden and watchful eye on our killer, and Vivian finds herself compelled to sneak into Mark's apartment to play the reels which he holds so close to him. I never expect to enjoy or understand the works of the early masters, but PEEPING TOM is just as relevant, darkly genius, and compelling as it was upon its release in 1960. Put this high on the priorities list, this is Horror at its best.
