[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Michael Powell's PEEPING TOM.
What a classic eh?
As we all know,this film repulsed the critics and flung director Powell on the scrapheap.
The first time I laid eyes on this film was back in the '90's when Warner released it as part of their Terror Vision collection.I didn't quite know what to make of it and never watched it again until I bought it on DVD many years later.
Of course,I now consider it a classic of British film,a daring cinematic landmark,(Far more so than Hitchcock's Psycho IMO).
The garishly coloured filmstock,the sleaziness and the perfect performances make for a winner all round.

The Optimum Blu Ray which was released at the tail end of last year was superb,and a contender for disc of the year,and I don't say that lightly,considering some of the staggering releases that appeared last year.

Any fellow fans?

Do you rate it?
