Sinopses(1)
A frank exploration of voyeurism and violence, Michael Powell's extraordinary film is the story of a psychopathic cameraman-his childhood traumas, sexual crises, and murderous revenge as an adult. Reviled by critics upon its initial release for its deeply unsettling subject matter, the film has since been hailed as a masterpiece. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Um estudo interessante sobre um pacífico assassino de mulheres com uma infância perturbada que arquiva os seus crimes em celuloide e planeia um «grande filme». Uma produção de filme A com ambições artísticas, é perfeitamente representada e filmada, mas o diretor Michael Powell concentra-se tanto no personagem principal que se esquece do espetador. O suspense e o choque infelizmente faltam. Talvez seja o tempo que passou desde o lançamento do filme. Mas considerando o impacto dos thrillers de Hitchcock no espetador contemporâneo, isso não desculpa Powell.

Ideally, Peeping Tom could have been a good Hitchcock, but for me it feels like a weaker De Palma. I didn’t like it at all, the immediate impression it left me with could be described as “unlikeable and unpleasant nonsense”. None of the characters behave like people, something I’m unwilling to accept, even in older films. Many older films don’t care too much about bulletproof logic (at least not as much as it is required today), but this one goes beyond the limit I’m able to tolerate. Just think about the first visit of Helen to Mark – who the hell would behave like her? Nobody! No, this is definitely not a good film.
