PEEPING TOM Movie trailer HD - “Ravishingly beautiful, a shock to the system… An absolutely lucid picture about the danger of making art” - Martin Scorsese
Watch the trailer for Michael Powell’s chilling masterpiece PEEPING TOM, now newly restored and in 4K focus. The second film from the visionary director, it has become a watershed in genre cinema, proving hugely influential on the evolution of the slasher movie.
An influential cinematic masterpiece from director Michael Powell, written by Leo Marks (Twisted Nerve) and starring Carl Boehm (Sissi), Anna Massey (Frenzy), Moira Shearer (The Red Shoes) and Maxine Audley (A King in New York), PEEPING TOM follows Mark (Carl Boehm), a focus puller at the local film studio, who supplements his wages by taking glamour photographs in a seedy studio above a newsagent. By night he is a sadistic killer, stalking his victims with his camera forever in his hand trying to capture the look of genuine, unadulterated fear – an obsession that stems from his disturbing and terrifying childhood at the hands of his scientist father. Mark slowly becomes enamoured with Helen (Anna Massey), who lives with her blind mother (Maxine Audley) in the flat downstairs, but how long before he turns the deadly gaze of his camera towards her?
