What a great film chilling atmosphere from the first scene. Richard Attenborough is superb and the story is very disturbing. This is a must see for all movie fans and true crime fans but i warn you its not for the faint harted and actualy made me feel at bit uneasy thinking about the story after the film.

what a movie - it is disturbing, atmospheric with superb acting. must be watched.

This is one of only a handful of films which have ever given me nightmares. Based on the infamous Christie/Evans murder case of the late 40's it boasts a top notch cast while the direction by Fleisher is highly atmospheric. The real revelation here is Richard Attenborough whose performance will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up on end. I have long been an admirer of Mr (sorry Lord) Attenborough who always struck me as being quite a cuddly kind of chap but after watching this awesome performance as the sleazy sex killer I just wanted to get in the shower.
If movies based on real crimes are your thing, you will rarely find it done better than here.
