Mad, voyeuristic cameraman (Carl Boehm, pictured left with Anna Massey) slaughters women.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Not all that violent by modern standards, but heartily disliked by virtually all contemporary critics for seeming to revel in both the anti-hero's deeds and (even more tastelessly) the terror of his victims. It is fashionable now to say that the initial reaction was mistaken, and to hail the movie as a masterpiece. I'm not so sure that it was wrong: though cleverly made, this is a nasty, mean-spirited film.

"I was genuinely surprised by the vicious reaction."

(Michael Powell, 1983)
