Peeping Tom 1960 Michael Powell 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Studio Canal UK

Classic thriller that influenced the slasher genre now in 4K Ultra HD!

Introducing Studio Canal's 2-Disc UHD 4K (Region Free) + Blu-ray (Region B) release for 1960's Peeping Tom, featuring a piercing new 4K restoration by The Film Foundation and BFI National Archive. Now regarded as a ground-breaking masterpiece of the British horror movement, on its initial release in 1960, Peeping Tom received a savage reception from critics who were dismayed by its controversial subject matter and the sympathy it seems to engender for its murderous protagonist.

An influential cinematic masterpiece written by Leo Marks (Twisted Nerve) and starring Carl Boehm (Sissi), Anna Massey (Frenzy), Moira Shearer (The Red Shoes) and Maxine Audley (A King in New York). The second film from visionary director Michael Powell, following his run of 1940s and 50s classics collaborating with screenwriter Emeric Pressburger, Peeping Tom left Powell’s career in tatters and the film was made unavailable for many years.

Mark (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 sadistic 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 (Massey), who lives with her blind mother (Audley) in the flat downstairs, but how long before he turns the deadly gaze of his camera towards her?
