Peeping Tom
A tormented cameraman obsessed with filming pure terror sets out to create the ultimate horror documentary, only to find his invasive lens turning victims into prey and threatening the innocent girl who might finally see him for what he is.
“What made this the most diabolical murder weapon ever used?”
Synopsis
Mark Lewis is a loner who works at a film studio by day and takes provocative photographs of women at night. He is also working on a documentary about fear, in which he records the reactions of his victims as he kills them. He befriends Helen, the daughter of the family living in the apartment below his, and gives her vague details about the film he is making.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
