I was geared up to watch this film after reading about it in "Cult Movies" which has inspired me to watch many films. However, I have to say that this film just wasn't that interesting. I found myself becoming very tired of it quickly.
The film has not aged well in my opinion. Perhaps when this was first released it might have interested people but it seems so dated. The dialogue especially. I don't remember people ever talking or acting this way. If a film doesn't seem believable it just doesn't work for me and this is the problem I have with Peeping Tom.
Women today would fight this guy back. They wouldn't just lay back on the couch or bed and let this guy kill them. Especially the women here in Los Angeles. I realize that isn't what the film is about-it's about perception but if the film doesn't seem realistic it doesn't work for me.
Some people will want to see this because it is a cult film but if you are looking for something engaging or interesting, I think you will be disappointed.
