Some groundwork for future similar films (most notably 'Maniac' and it's remake) can be seen in this unusual 60's thriller. Unusual type of thriller for the time, that is. Filmmaking techniques play as big of a part as the story. The two go hand-in-hand in giving insight to this dangerous voyeuristic character. He rides the line of sympathy and scary perfectly, so that we understand his situation but still condone his actions. Many scenes subtly induce fear, which exactly parallel his own filming studies of his victims. Very interesting and understated.
