Negative Positive
Title: Camera Shy...
Review: Mark (Carl Boehm) is a socially-awkward young man. He's a quiet, seemingly innocent film-maker who is more boy than man. No one would ever suspect that Mark has a problem, well, many deep-seated problems. No one would ever suspect him as a murderer. Mark, like Norman Bates, is so mild-mannered as to float right below the radar. There is no suspicion of him as the perpetrator of a series of grisly homicides. PEEPING TOM is the story of a father's twisted experiments on his own son, and the resulting psychopathy in the offspring. Very disturbing for its time (1960), TOM takes a voyeuristic filming approach, involving the viewer in Marc's crimes. While not so shocking today, it still manages to pose some questions about the relationship between movies and their audience. Highly recommended...
