Peeping Tom

A shy, reclusive focus puller who aspires to be a filmmaker. He is a compulsive voyeur, secretly filming women and turning fear into a spectacle for his ‘documentary.’ His father’s cruel experiments on fear haunt him, driving a chilling need to control and record others’ responses even as he destroys them.

A kind, curious young woman who befriends Mark after a birthday party. She senses something amiss in his behavior and challenges him to open up, all while living with her blind mother. Her gentle nature contrasts with Mark’s intensity, making her a vulnerable but perceptive presence on screen.

A cast member who antagonizes the director with exaggerated, fainting takes, and who becomes a target of Mark’s camera-as-tuture. She is drawn into the on-set pressure and ultimately becomes a murder victim, her fear captured in film as part of Mark’s ‘story.’

A pin-up model photographed by Mark, representing the veneer of glamour that hides danger. She becomes another victim whose terror is captured on camera, reinforcing the pattern of Mark using beauty and fame as cover for violence.

A stand-in who becomes entangled in Mark’s experiments and film work. She too falls victim to his methodical pursuit of fear, adding to the chilling body count on the studio set.

A prostitute Mark films, a victim early in the narrative who embodies the predator’s invasive gaze. Her murder marks the escalation of Mark’s crimes from voyeurism to lethal action.

A detective who leads the police investigation into the murders. He links the victims through their fear-filled last expressions and pursues Mark as the prime suspect, adding police procedural tension to the suspense.

A psychologist who discusses Mark’s behavior and his father’s influence. His insights connect the film’s present crimes to the long shadow of previous fear studies, framing Mark within a clinical spectrum of pathology.
