Peeping Tom
1960 · 1h 41m · Horror, Thriller, Crime
Watch it tonight if you can handle a genuinely disturbing psychological thriller—this 1960 classic is a masterpiece of suspense that basically invented the slasher genre, and those scores don't lie. Fair warning: it's bleak, voyeuristic, and deeply unsettling in ways modern horror often struggles to achieve, so check your tolerance for slow-burn dread before hitting play.
Plot
Loner Mark Lewis works at a film studio during the day and, at night, takes racy photographs of women. Also he's making a documentary on fear, which involves recording the reactions of victims as he murders them. He befriends Helen, the daughter of the family living in the apartment below his, and he tells her vaguely about the movie he is making.
