Michael Powell's 1960 serial killer thriller
Peeping Tom was trashed by critics on its release and all but
ended the director's career. In the years since it has rightly come to be
regarded as a classic and its influence can be seen in everything from
Italy's giallo thrillers of the 1970s to today's found footage
horrors.
A new 4K restoration of Peeping Tom will receive its world premiere
at the BFI London Film festival on October 7th followed by its release in UK cinemas from October 27th and as a Special
Edition UHD, Blu-ray and DVD release from January 29th, 2024.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Mark (Carl Boehm), a focus puller at the local film studio, supplements his wages by taking glamour photographs in a seedy studio above a newsagent. By night he is a 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?
