"Peeping Tom" (1960)


A well-done creepy film. Creepy. But, well-done. We can safely say that I'll probably not specialize in psychological thrillers/horror movies such as this one. I will say the sound choices were as much a plot element of the film as anything else. Definitely not invisible sound. Piano, plain and simple, but very pronounced. Latin music from a recording played live on film. Not only is there a camera man filming a mad camera man filming other camera operators, but a sound man recording the sound of a recording--okay not as many layers as the camera, but the same levels are implied and exist along side the camera bits. It's still a creepy film.

Creepy along the same lines as the German film ''The Testament of Dr. Mabuse".
