Albert Finney like you‘ve never seen him before! A remake of a once pioneering thriller about a psychopathic murderer of women jeopardised the careers of Karel Reisz and his acting star in 1964. Today, it has a reputation of underappreciated genre work that still manages to terrify and fascinate through Finney‘s performance in the ambiguous role. (Summer Film School)
