This abundantly creepy, and always controversial, British movie never goes out of style. A cameraman for the movies by trade, this killer's fetish has to do with photographing the fear in his victims' faces at the moment of their death. Of course, the story's subject of voyeurism may go a long way toward explaining its popularity among film buffs.

Its own besotted yet savage review of cinema, Powell's Peeping Tom is a canonical favourite of film theorists and horror buffs.

Despised upon release, the vilification of this fine film is as sad as the psychotic cameraman that it's about.

Michael Powell's elegant and disturbing 'Peeping Tom' turns its camera eye on an unhealthy obsession with all things cinematic.

One of the most chilling serial killer films ever made.
