Pros: photography Cons: plausibility of women's trustingness
Michael Powell is probably the greatest English film director who did not “go Hollywood.” “The Red Shoes” (1948) is, deservedly, a favorite of many people, and he made a number of other outstanding films during the 1940s, including the Technicolor...
Pros: rare love story between psycho and young girl Cons: too codified to hold the viewer
Famous partly for having the pin-up model Pamela Green as a sarcastic pin-up model, Peeping Tom and it's creator writer/ director Michael Powell were vilified at its release and the movie hated unanimously by all the British critics. The role of ...
Pros: Classic, complex study of abnormal psychology, movie-going and movie-making. Cons: Some lapses in logic, credibility - not a "likable" movie, to say the least
I'm having difficulty deciding whether Peeping Tom should be approached without, beforehand, reading heavy-duty analyses of it, or whether it's more entertaining if you immerse yourself in all the theoretical arguing, deconstructing, and...
Pros: Interesting theme relating to cinema as voyeurism; some nice camerawork Cons: Gratuitous violence against women; mediocre cast; unconvincing pop psychology; no suspense and few thrills

Pros: Complexity of script, inventiveness of concept and Powell’s superb direction make this required material. Cons: Looking pretty dated, acting wooden at times and the content may disturb some viewers.
“I wanted to write a study of one particular voyeur from a little boy to the time that he died. I wanted to show what made him a peeping Tom. And scatter throughout that as many clues, visual clues as I could find, in the hope that the audience would...
Pros: Directing, subject matter, strong themes Cons: unpleasant, scene just before the end, misogyny
`Peeping Tom’ is about the nature of fear. It bears great resemblance to “Psycho” (both were made in 1960, this was completed and released first), but is not quite up to the same standard. Like the Hitchcock masterpiece, the male lead is terribly...
Pros: An amazing, psychological look into the mind of a voyeur Cons: None
Plot: Mark Lewis works as a focus puller for a local film studio. In his extra time he takes "adult" photos for a local porn shop. But Mark also has a deadly secret, he murders women and films their dying expressions. One day Mark meets a ...
Released the same year as Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," "Peeping Tom" offers an altogether different look at a mass murdering lunatic. Directed by Michael Powell, (one of Martin Scorsese's film idols) and written by WWII code breaker...
