SUBLIME CINEMA #682 - PEEPING TOM

The film that lost Michael Powell a career and gained him cult status and fans from across the Atlantic such as Coppola and Scorsese who championed him, and cited this film as a major inspiration.

Interestingly while this film was busy being banned and criticized across Europe for its shocking content, Hitchcock's Psycho was busy making a fortune. Both released in 1960, it was perhaps Powell's brilliant use of color which ultimately doomed Peeping Tom. Audiences at the time were unable to reconcile the beauty of the photography with the shock of seeing so much red - the implied color of blood in an otherwise bloodless film.

Psycho got away with it because the black and white acted as a censor.. The blood was black.

Peeping Tom (1960)

I’ve seen Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom on several lists of “the best slasher movies ever made”. I don’t know if it belongs among the likes of Halloween or The Burning. Not because it isn’t good. Quite the opposite; this is an excellent film. I’m saying it doesn’t belong because this isn’t really a slasher film. This psychological horror-thriller doesn’t have the masked killed, the character “in the know” or many of the other tropes you’d expect to see. Instead, it has the transitional elements that would someday become them. Semantics aside, this film stands confidently as a piece of horror history or on its own.

In London, Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) is a photographer and aspiring filmmaker obsessed with capturing images of fear. Alone in his loft, he watches videos of the murders he's committed. As the investigators on his tail begin getting closer, he befriends Helen Stephens (Anna Massey).

It would be interesting to see Peeping Tom remade because so many aspects of it would be different if shot today. In 1960, cameras weren’t rare but they weren’t everpresent the way they are today and you could argue that we’ve become as obsessed with photography and videos as Mark. He isn’t merely shooting the last moments of his victim’s lives; he goes back to the scene of the crime the next morning to capture the looks on people’s faces when they wheel out the prostitute he murdered (Brenda Bruce). He wants to see how people react when they find the bodies. He wants to see the moment when his victims realize their lives are over again and again. Whenever he meets a woman and shows the slightest bit of interest in her, you wonder what he sees. Another victim? A kindred spirit? To a man this unhinged, is there a difference?

The thing is that Mark isn’t completely loony. Most of the time, he seems like a perfectly normal person. Perhaps a bit shy, but he has a normal job, the scenes with him and Helen are even a bit sweet - though they can make the middle feel a tad slow. You’d never guess just how disturbed he is under that facade, which makes him much scarier than someone like Jason Voorhees. This is the kind of character any psychologist would have a field day evaluating because each scene unveils a new layer of psychological complexity.

For the titular peeping tom alone, this is a great film but there are other elements to appreciate. The very first shot is from Mark’s point of view. It’s not because we’re going to have a twist reveal of his identity later; it’s so we can feel what it’s like to be him. We never see the actual murders - the camera always cuts away. This means we eagerly anticipate the scenes where Mark sits down to watch his snuff films - even if the scene just happened. Like him, we’re hoping to catch something we didn’t the first time. Every time, his reels fail to deliver what we want. It makes us look forward to the next crime. “This time, for sure” the film seems to say. For 101 minutes, we're addicts and that ending? It’s quite a shocker. You should’ve seen coming but didn’t, which makes it that much more unsettling.

Like so many horror classics before it, Peeping Tom was practically burned at the stake upon its initial release. In a way, you can sort of understand why. Even today, Mark Lewis makes your skin crawl and the idea that a “good movie” has to be “good for you” still prevails. The outrage made everyone miss the excellent storytelling and characterization at the core of Peeping Tom. This is a picture I see myself returning to, and appreciating more with every subsequent watch. (May 13, 2022)

Peeping Tom (1960)

Movie #1,121 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS

Nearly 40 years before 8mm English director Michael Powell did the unthinkable: he made a movie about snuff films that's actually good! Not much to say about this one — a film that Martin Scorsese cited alongside 8½ as pictures that say everything that can be said about filmmaking — that hasn't been said before. It's visually creative and stunning in moments, and pretty much engaging throughout. I liked it!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Booklet with an essay by author Megan Abbott

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.

Pre-order Peeping Tom.

Peeping Tom: 7/10

Carl Boehm’s performance is mesmerizing, being both pitiable and terrifying by turns, weaving a lot of emotional complexity into the plot. It’s a movie that gets better the more you think about it, but the slow pace and complete lack of gore effects mean it never actually becomes scary.

Peeping Tom (1960)

Things never go well for Moira Shearer when she starts dancing.  Sure, she’s great at it and all, but at the end of the day, it just spells disaster for her.  Michael Powell’s disturbing portrait of psychosis and voyeurism swaps Psycho’s mommy issues for daddy problems, while taking a step beyond to implicate the audience in its crimes.  If the act of watching a film is inherently voyeuristic, and that act causes pleasure, are we any better than Mark Lewis?  Just kidding, nobody’s got any time for that armchair psychoanalytic bullshit.  Just drink up and enjoy this trip through a dark mind.
