The Peeping Tom

Are you a peeping tom? Well, you're going to feel like one at the start of this movie! The opening sequence is from a camera focussed on the legs of pedestrians. From there the film moves on to the obligatory woman-masturbating-in-a-shower scene, then the girls undressing scene, and so forth. Really puts you in the right frame of mind for what follows: fixating on women's legs is normal, right?

What makes this movie work is the serial killer himself: a delightfully sociopathic performance. The teashades, the cut-here dotted lines drawn on victims with a sharpie, the total disregard for -- well, for just about everything.
