Peeping Tom (1960)

So chilling, like nothing before filmed.
It's kind of cool to look at the two impactful horror films of 1960 and their strategies. Hitchcock filmed Psycho in black and white, hence enhancing it's surrealness (and hiding the fact that his blood was chocolate syrup). On the other hand, Powell chose technicolor for his shocker, and it only adds to the eerieness of Peeping Tom.

Both very effective, both masterpieces (though I prefer Psycho).
