Not great cinema, but certainly worth a watch, particularly for the ending! Creepy...

The rumour says it was re-edited to become more whodunit, and that might also have caused it to be a much weaker movie than it really is."<br /><br />You can do alot in the editing, enhance something or weaken something..... <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"They struggle to keep the killer a secret, while it's not a secret at all (just check the official poster) - which makes the whole set-up quite confusing. What do they want to do with the story? A whodunit or a normal thriller? Hell knows, but it's still worth watching and Bloch uses a couple of very interesting ideas, but feels a lot more rushed than most of his other writing from the same period."<br /><br />Yeah, the poster says it all really.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"The ending, which goes on for a while with several endings in one is excellent, creepy delivers a few subtle shocks without being especially violent or graphic (no, I'm not one of them who wants to be pretentious and claims that less gore will generate more tension, that's just bullshit - it's all about storytelling, no matter graphic violence or not)."<br /><br />Yeah, also what mood I´m in.....do I want to see something more subtle or violent and gory.<br /><br /><br /><br />"but if you tend to enjoy moderately twisted sixties thrillers or just yet another production from Amicus, this might be something for you."<br /><br />Well, I like twisted early 60´s thriller ninja....like Peeping Tom (1960), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) etc.<br /><br />Thanks ninja, good review.<br /><br />MegatronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
