Although Psycho is often credited as being the granddaddy of slasher films, Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom starring Carl Boehm, Anna Massey, and Moira Shearer deserves the recognition. The official description reads: “Armed with his killer camera, photographer and filmmaker Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) unleashes the traumas of his childhood by murdering women and recording their deaths—until he falls for his downstairs neighbor, and finds himself struggling against his dark compulsions. Received with revulsion upon its release only to be reclaimed as a masterpiece, the endlessly analyzed, still-shocking Peeping Tom dares viewers to confront their own relationship to the violence on-screen.” The new 4K UHD Criterion Collection restoration of Peeping Tom includes two audio commentaries; an introduction by Martin Scorsese; an interview with editor Thelma Schoonmaker; a documentary about Peeping Tom’s history featuring interviews with Schoonmaker, Scorsese, and Boehm; a documentary about screenwriter Leo Marks; and a featurette on the film’s restoration.
