IMDb Trailer

Loner Mark Lewis works at a film studio during the day and, at night, takes racy photographs of women. Also he's making a documentary on fear, which involves recording the reactions of victims as he murders them. He befriends Helen, the daughter of the family living in the apartment below his, and he tells her vaguely about the movie he is making.

Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier StudioCanal 4K. Michael Powell's 1960 horror that ended his career. The new 4K restoration played in art house theaters and the reception was strong. The old Blu-ray was never that good, so this is a meaningful upgrade. People love to point out this is better than Psycho, which came out the same year. Scorsese helped revive the film's reputation decades later.
