cinematic voyeurism

His masterpiece 'Peeping Tom' directly confronts the voyeuristic gaze of cinema itself through a killer who films his murders, implicating both character and audience.

His films obsessively explore voyeurism, surveillance, and the male gaze through elaborate set pieces that examine how cinema positions viewers as complicit observers.

He pioneered the use of subjective camera and point-of-view shots to force audiences into voyeuristic positions, making viewers experience complicity in witnessing transgressive acts.
