Director/cinematographer/editor Marco Mak was once a protege of the prolific trash film-maker Wong Jing, but apparently took away little of Wong's chutzpah from their times working together. Mak's directorial efforts, for the most part, are decent enough movies that are technically well-made but come off as more than a bit generic, and the erotic thriller The Peeping is another example of this. Despite the titillating cover art, it's basically a glorified version of semi-arty smut like Red Shoe Diaries.
