Strange to think that this psychosexual thriller about a murderous deviant was, at the time, extreme: today there is much worse on TV, let alone the worst torture-porn cinema. If the psychology of it all seems a little simplistic -- Mark (Carl Boehm) came by his obsessions with film and fear from his father, who abused him on camera as a child -- it's a remarkably sympathetic portrayal of a monster. Boehm is brilliant and Powell shoots it all with lurid colours and film-noir shadows.
