389. Peeping Tom (1960)

This camera has one sharp lens! Jay, Lindsey, Ron, and special guest Carmelita Valdez-McKoy discuss Peeping Tom (1960). 

Reviled when it was released, Michael Powell’s bawdy thriller has enjoyed a reappraisal in recent years. Recognized for the killer’s POV camera work, putting the audience in the same view of the killer, and the deeply disturbing psychological underpinnings, modern audiences are finally seeing the root of slashers may not completely reside with 1960’s Psycho, but also in this film.
