Voyeurism lies at the heart of Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom, a taut horror thriller about a disturbed young cameraman who murders women and films them as they die. Powell brings a craftsman’s eye to the film, which he sets in mostly tight, claustrophobic spaces. Terrifying, thought-provoking, and even moving, Peeping Tom forces us to to confront our own dark desires as viewers.
