This 101 minute feature film is a DVD starring Carl Bohm, Moira Shearer, and Anna Massey. Michael Powell directed this groundbreaking study in voyeurism, cinema, and obsession.
When Mark was a child, his father, a highly esteemed professor, used him as a form of laboratory rat in a series of experiments that tested various levels of fear. As an adult, Mark too maintains a fascination with terror, having matured into a psychopathic killer with a penchant for filming women on the verge of death. Since he works as a cameraman for a film studio, he easily indulges his fetish by luring aspiring actresses into isolated areas for "screen tests."
But then Mark meets Helen, a neighbor who wishes to become his friend... and the tormented murderer's downfall begins. An acclaimed and abhorred film about a man raised by a scientist who devoted his life to the study of the psychology of fear, using his own son as his guinea pig. As an adult the boy is obsessed with filming the deaths of beautiful young women, after causing them personally with his knife-wielding tripod. Powell aficionado Martin Scorsese brought the film out of obscurity in 1979. The Home Vision Cinema VHS version is digitally re-mastered. The print used is from the Janus collection.
Voyager's laserdisc #CC1299L is part of the company's Criterion Collection. It was digitally transferred from a 35mm Low Contrast Print and features an audio commentary by film theorist Laura Mulvey on the alternate soundtrack.

Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Classification. Peeping Tom Reviews: "...Disturbing brilliance....One of the definitive dozen cult movies ever..." -- 4 out of 4 stars
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...PEEPING TOM still ranks as one of the most terribly strange and twisted of motion pictures. Even in a day and age when the outré is encouraged, this brilliant dark gem stands out in a crowd..."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "...Powell was a director who loved rich colors, and PEEPING TOM is shot in a saturated Technicolor....He was a virtuoso of camera use....His film is a masterpiece precisely because it doesn't let us off the hook..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...The twisted themes are modern and dark, right down to the killer ending..."
-- Stephen Risness, Total Film "...Extremely twisted..."
-- Ty Burr, Entertainment Weekly "[T]he audacity of Michael Powell's last major film still takes the breath away."-- Michael Brooke, Sight and Sound 4 stars out of 5 -- "[D]irector Michael Powell's mastery of atmosphere and the emphasis on the killer's point-of-view still chill."-- Jason Caro, Ultimate DVD

Based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is the tragic and moving story of two cowboys who unexpectedly fall in love while working together one summer in 1963. When the film begins, rodeo cowboy Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ranch-hand Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) are strangers meeting for the first time. As the more outgoing one, it is Jack who must initiate a friendship with Ennis, a man so tight-lipped and self-consciously macho he refuses all facial expression. From this strained beginning, Jack and Ennis gradually begin to bond on cold, lonely nights over a fire in the mountains of Signal, Wyoming. One particularly chilly evening, Jack invites Ennis into his tent, where a sudden awkward embrace sends their relationship in a new direction. Though each man stubbornly defends his heterosexuality, the spark between them cannot help but grow, with that initial summer on Brokeback Mountain becoming their reference point for happiness during the rest of their lives.
Spanning 20 years, the film moves at an impressively ...
