Welcome back to career ruining masterpieces. Today we look at Peeping Tom, the 1960 film directed by half of the Archer's Michael Powell. A film which came out before Psycho and in many ways was more radical and instrumental to the growing slasher genre.

I had to reedit and reupload this video upwards of 15 times. Where the copyrighting would constantly change or would claim areas of literal black as visual property. Once again, like Walker, a film that was rejected by distributors upon release is suddenly so sacred that it can't even be used for the purpose of critique. Intellectual property is such a F***ing joke. I hope the executives at studiocanal get in a car crash or suffer horribly (in Minecraft). Quite literally took eighteen hours just to get this video uploaded, the longest in this channel's history, but sadly a landmark I'm sure will soon enough be usurped.
