YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"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".
