The creator of this lost his job and the respect of people because of the disturbing film. Little did they know, this is the first slasher film and inspired millions of movies and thousands of game. It's diamond of the horror history. Too bad he died knowing people disliked him and his work.

[@ajs41]

Portraying a serial killer in a partly sympathetic way was too much for the critics.

[@45rpmSINGLES]

He died knowing people appreciated this classic film and all of this earlier works

[@bigkj2.027]

Right

[@bigkj2.027]

I'm intrigued to see this flim

[@onestopshop]

He died in 1990 he got to see the 80s slasher rave that t9ok over the world

[@ZootSuitWolf]

(00:40) "Fear him... But Pity Him Also!" LOL!!!

[@1derfullBeast]

No "lol": didn't you get the message?...probably you didn't see the movie, because your comment is quite dumb...

[@gabifgt]

you know this is a gem of cinema history when the critics hated it at first.

[@ajs41]

The critics hated this because it portrayed a serial killer sympathetically.

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Damned on release, Peeping Tom is now considered a classic horror film. Michael Powell's vision of the camera as a point-of-view weapon was too challenging for the era I guess. It's a creepy and unnerving film even now.

[@rgwebb5165]

I have been watching Giallo films and KZbin recommended this for me. Obviously not Italian and not a slasher film, therefore not Giallo. But the Eastman color, it was shot in, gives it a similar look. The story is easy to follow and makes you care about Mark, at least sympathize with him. Rarely is the serial killer the character we care most about in a movie. Voyuerism, social anxiety, mental illness, man's reliance upon technology. These topics have only grown in relevancy since 1960. Brilliant film.

[@chrishenniker5944]

It’s also a very funny funny film in places, I can’t help but laugh at the scenes in the newsagents. The dialogue is very witty.

[@CumCherryPie]

Peeping Tom is a brilliant film , a must

[@maydom04]

This film conveys horror in the purest and most disturbing sense.

[@chrisrobinson-cj6tq]

When? I’ll watch for it if there is a next time.

[@Hunter87788]

More people need to see peeping Tom like it was one of the first horror slasher films..

[@HamzaTalksFootball]

The soundtrack for this film is masterful. I love it! 😍

[@rhysperegrine5100]

Only just discovered Powell's films. He really should receive more praise. Right up there with Hitchcock and Kubrick imo

[@absoluteacw]

Perhaps but not for this. It isn't polished enough.

[@zachjohnson637]

@@absoluteacw Huh?

[@crisvamc83]

"Michael Powell - David Lean - Stanley Kubrick" are wonderful lineage of legends in films

[@melissamartinez6594]

A Simple Favor novel brought me here. I’m intrigued and want to watch this now

[@Hunter87788]

It's really sad that peeping Tom was so trashed by critics when it first came out..

[@samuelademeso9041]

that why never trust critics

[@dobbsiancant7736]

okay.this is creepy.i just uploaded the film and 5 minutes later i find out karl boehm just died.i'm not going out today.

[@FrikiadasDeMorgan]

I know it's late for a reply, but something similar happened to me when I started listening Amy Winehouse and the next day she died 😂

[@sexobscura]

*"What's your favorite scary movie"*

[@angelarcortez]

A Simple Favor book brought me here.

[@abelmolnar2519]

@alone gamer A Simple Favour by Darcey Bell. But it isn't about that film. It's just a character's favorite film in that book.

[@Lutf_fitness]

A Masterpiece

[@chazinko]

Don't fear the reaper, fear jazz!

[@ThomasPashko]

Does anyone know the name of the percussive song that plays through most of this trailer? Is it part of Brian Easdale's score, or is it a licensed song? There's never been a soundtrack release for Peeping Tom, except for one track on the History of Horror compilation from 2000. That track is a piano medley and doesn't include the song in the trailer, which Moira Shearer dances to in the film. IMDb doesn't list any soundtrack details for this film, so no help there. Any help?

[@cifer8070]

This movie is prefect example of ahead of it's time. Ps this trailer is such a misrepresentation of our tragic hero mark

[@user-uw1er9fg7p]

One of the Scariest Films I've ever seen.

[@hidof9598]

Way ahead of its time The audiences were really offended back then

[@joewhitehead3]

“Peeping Tom. 1960. Directed by Michael Powell. First movie to ever put the audience the killer’s POV”

[@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594]

"Name the film that starter the slasher craze"

[@normavela4770]

Ohhh que guapo era este Sr. Karlheinz, inolvidable.

[@patricksputnick5094]

The creep was ahead of his time, no mobile phones back then.

[@hidof9598]

Ah Snuff films

[@normavela4770]

Se ve media fuerte, pero Karl Heinz Bohm igual de guapo, espero ver esa película!!!

[@mosessteenbeke9494]

Peeping Tom (1960) would make a great episode of Criminal Minds.

[@villaparis2]

Classic horror film

[@davidstewart5905]

Scream 4 got me here

[@paulchristman2456]

I've never understood why this film was singled out for such a lambasting for being sick and violent. Orson Welles' "A Touch of Evil" (1958) featured a gang rape, "Anna and the King of Siam" (1946) included a horrifyingly brutal scene in which a young woman is burnt alive, "Kiss of Death" (1947) is famous for its scene in which an old woman is shoved down a staircase in a wheelchair; the list goes on. And of course, "Psycho", made the same year as " Peeping Tom", contains the famous 'shower scene'. None of those films were dragged through the mud for their violence the way that "Peeping Tom" was.

[@ajs41]

Because this was so good.

[@cypherice3834]

Like another comment explained It's because it was too sympathetic and it doesn't end with him going to jail or getting killed. People were disturbed by the morbid grounded reality of the film in a way that was never shown before. Nowadays people praise this morbid ground with films like Taxi Driver, Night Crawler, and Joker being so successful.

[@drewweiss4384]

Does anyone know the name of the song in this trailer?

[@anthonyjones3835]

First movie to put the audience in the killers pov

[@user-uw1er9fg7p]

The Narrator sounds like someone out of South Park.

[@K1NGTAVO]

They mentioned it on scream is it good or chessy?

[@DaVeoc-if7dd]

Mike Patton brought me here

[@Dabhach1]

This was one SERIOUSLY creeped-out and degenerate movie. When it first came out in good old, buttoned-down, pre-Beatles England back in the 1950s, the Blimps and "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" types went nuts. Considering what England has become since, they kind of had a point.

[@eoinh1]

The Blimps? Powell who directed this also directed The life and Death of Co. Blimp a fantastic film. Seriously Brilliant. and A Matter of Life and Death also Brilliant. All his films were classics.

[@absoluteacw]

This movie was released a few months before Hitchcocks Psycho. Psycho being the one remembered. It is easy to see why. A polished movie. Peeping Tom had the capacity to be remembered but has become yet another cult movie sadly though I don't even believe it is. The upbeat music featured in this movie was quite fashionable in that era dates the movie. It doesn't add to the atmosphere for cult reasons. What does Hitchcock do over a decade later? Releases Frenzy.

[@-Ashram-]

funny how I know the entire movie after this....

[@stephenspencer8356]

this can be an interesting remake, its vary old, but a lot of movies are being remade several times.

[@chrisjohnson3431]

stephen spencer I'd rather they left it alone. Really great film.

[@Shadywolf09]

stephen spencer The film would be shelved if it were to be remade. If they barely let it slide in the 60's, I'm quite sure they would ban it from being remade. Michael Powell's career was finished due to this film.

[@Hume820]

+stephen spencer Reminds me of Red Dragon.

[@CelestialWoodway]

How about NO?

[@777Albatross]

ᏰᏗşιℓ this was back in the 60s though although a remake would not be as good

[@666deftone]

nightcrawler?

[@fuckem187]

+Luk Kra not quite, Lou Bloom is obsessed with ambition and power, using cameras is just his method of making it. Peeping tom is more of a psycho who enjoys and is obsessed with killing and using cameras to do so.

[@GoldenGateNum9]

*Hmm interesting but looks too weirdly 60's, would love to see a remake ( done properly though )*

[@ajs41]

Watch it, it's great.

[@Seek1878]

Great movie but this trailer does it a disservice.
