IN THE DEVIL'S GARDEN 1971 (VCI)

A very well made thriller.

This is also known as "Assault". The movie opens with the rape of a schoolgirl in the woods near a private school and this sends her into a shock in which she cannoe speak.

The police have no clues to go on and everything seems to quiet down until there is a second rape that ends in murder. A police psychologist befriends a beautiful teacher played by gorgeous Suzy Kendall.

She decides to set herself up as bait and gets into a very dangerous situation.

This is an excellent thriller that never stops moving and never settles down until the end of the film. All of the actors do an outstanding job and the movie is entertaining despite the subject matter.

Kendall looks fantastic as always and makes a VERY believable victim. Sidney hayers directed this movie and his efforts pay off big time.

The rest of the cast includes Frank Finlay, Freddie Jones, James Laurenson, Lesley-Anne Down, and Tony Beckley.

If you get a chance, don't miss this first rate thriller.
