About this event
This Halloween, Movie Church turns satanic... Having brought British cinema into exalted realms of fantasy and imagination, Michael Powell took a dark detour into obsession, voyeurism, and violence with this groundbreaking metacinematic investigation into the mechanics of fear. Armed with his killer camera, photographer and filmmaker Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) unleashes the traumas of his childhood by murdering women and recording their deaths—until he falls for his downstairs neighbour, and finds himself struggling against his dark compulsions. Received with revulsion upon its release only to be reclaimed as a masterpiece, the endlessly analysed, still-shocking Peeping Tom dares viewers to confront their own relationship to the violence on-screen. All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated, and the film start time is as advertised above. Content Warnings: moderate violence, intense and frightening psychological scenes. Runtime: 101 minutes Director: Michael Powell Country: UK Year: 1960 Film
