In Michael Powell's kinky tour de force, Mark, an amateur photographer, stabs women with the sharpened leg of his camera tripod, then films their death throes, playing the movies back later for his own pleasure. Hailed as a masterpiece for its frank exploration of voyeurism and violence, Peeping Tom is a Criterion laserdisc exclusive.
Featuring a new film-to-video transfer and audio commentary by noted film theorist Laura Mulvey discussing the film's controversial psychological obsessions.
