I know that Peeping Tom was highly controversial. It's considered a classic, but I understand that it almost ruined the director's career because there was such an uproar. I don't know if it ever played in the states. Seems like it was mainly a UK film.

I see.. who directed that movie again? I think controversial films rarely made it to box office..

"Peeping Tom"
Director - Michael Powell
Imdb says "Years ahead of its time and still one of the most disturbing and psychologically complex horror films ever made!"
Rating 7.8 which is considered near to classic.
