Some call it "the British 'Psycho.'” We just call it groovy cinema. Though maybe not a perfect film like the comparison suggests, “Peeping Tom” is still a colorful, smart thriller. And hey, it’s always fun to play with the filmmaker-making-a-film-within-a-film-on-a-film-set trope, alongside the exploration of psychosis from the point of view of the psycho. The guys had plenty to dismember on the positive side, earning it a double “rent.”
