MANIAC 1963 (MILL CREEK)

A Hammer murder mystery.

Kerwin Matthews stars as an American in France who agrees to help a woman break her murderous husband out of an asylum where he has been for many years after committing a terrible crime.

Matthews is good in the lead role and Liliane Brousse is simply beautiful as Annette a young woman who was raped many years ago and the rapist is the man her father killed with a blowtorch and was arrested and committed for.

The plot moves along to an interesting double cross which I found to be typical of noir type films. I have to admit I found the film kind of slow and that is a disappointment.

I could recommend this for those who like these types of films, which I do, but this really didn't capture my attention like I thought it should have.

Not bad, but not too good either.
