Peeping Tom is a wonderful film Micael Powell IIRC .It probably wouldn't get made today ,unfortunately though.

It would be far too dangerous.

What a load of nonsense. Loads of films are made today which are ten times worse

To whom though?

You're obviously talking about so called "terror " films which almost by definition are far less realistic than PT was.I agree they're "worse" btw.

 

[BALDY]

Napster you obviously have never seen it.
The murderer has a spike in a tripod.

He murders women whilst filming it!!!!

The P C brigade would be pulling out their hair if they got a whiff of an attempted remake!

See the film you can buy/rent the DVD online.
Please watch it as I would like your view of it.

Peeping Tom movie review & film summary (1960) | Roger Ebert

The movies make us into voyeurs. We sit in the dark, watching other people's lives. It is the bargain the cinema strikes with us, although most films are too

You do know it's a film and not real life right?

Plently of films made that are horrifically violent

Surely the issue is how realistic it was? Totally IMO.Make you on the money with your last point though.

Isn't the whole point to make something look realistic in a film otherwise it just looks looks terrible?

A lot of violent films have been wrongly criticised IMO for just this reason .Think of The Straw Dogs or The Wild Bunch for example.

"The Clockwork Orange" to my knowledge has never been made.

 

[The Big Dady]

"The Clockwork Orange" to my knowledge has never been made.

Do you mean Stanley Kubrick's brilliant 1971 film "A Clockwork Orange"?

Saw that (uncut) in Leicester Square when it first came out, as it was banned in Southend by the council who refused to give it a licence or rating,

 

[BALDY]

Yup,,,Stanley Kubrick even banned the dvd.

I’ve seen it - it’s OK I suppose.

No such thing as terror films - horror is the right term. Peeping Tom is a psychological horror. Realism in horror is interesting- and there’s plenty of horror films based on that. Texas Chainsaw Massacre for one. That was remade recently as well. The horror genre gets less credit than it should.

TCM is one of the worst recent films I've ever seen.You'll excuse me for not wanting to see the remake I hope.While I like the John Whale classic Frankenstein films,Nosferatu and even some of the early Hammer horror films it's not a genre that I care overmuch for.

Edit.Have you actually seen Peeping Tom?

Indeed.Great film.

It's a great film.What is wrong with you?

Glass Onion (the Knives Out sequel), good entertainment but nowhere near as brilliant as the original. First 3/4 were great but the ending let it down, I get what the ending was going for but it wasn't very satisfying.
