「UNH」Peeping Tom (1960)

Some call it the first slasher. Others, the first form of a snuff film. Martin Scorsese says that Peeping Tom is "everything that can be said about filmmaking," and that it is a "shock to the system", a "lucid picture about the danger of making art," suggesting that the film explores the potential pitfalls and challenges inherent in the creative process. Yet, Peeping Tom was not well received when it was initially released in its home country of England. It didn't fair much better in the United States or anywhere else during that time either. We will dive into the history of a film that was released far too early for its audience but has, over the years, become recognized for it's importance and significance in not only the horror genre that we so love, but in cinema history as a whole.
