Director Michael powell pretty much destroyed his film career when he released this shocker upon the world in 1959. Not one single review of the film was good, and it wasn't until the 80's that this film started to get the attention it deserved.
Karl Bohm stars as a young man whose father used him in bizarre experiment of fear and a camera when he was a child, and now he is a psychotic killer who likes to film women just before he kills them to capture their fear.
Anna Massey is the young woman who befrineds him and learns his horrible secret. Criterion has done a splendid job of bringing this to DVD in an excellent print that rivals anything the company has done.
Highly recommended film for fans of horror..
