Recensione in evidenza
"Grip of the strangler" or "The Haunted Strangler" is a nice terror movie in which Boris Karloff is a novelist investigating a 20-year-old murder to his own cost who begins copying some of the killer's acts. Then , a series of grisly killings happening and an intelligent Police Inspector : Anthony Dawson investigate the strange events . Their wild beauty marked them for death by... The Haunted Strangler! Karloff King of Monsters in his new picture of 1000 Horrors ! Karloff King of the Monsters in his new Horror Hit !
Eeerie and frrightening story from a script by John Cooper and Jan Read , both of whom contributed efficiently to deliver a really riveting story in "Dr Jekill and Mister Hyde" style that involves a writer investigating an old murder case . Boris Karloff is awesome as the writer investigating past crimes resulting in fateful consequences . An effective and horrifying detective tale in which the great Boris Karloff plays masterfully a novelist who develops the homicidal tendencies of a long-dead murderer he's been writing about and eventually unravelling the mystery at a cemetery at last . This splendid film brought Karloff back to British films after 20 years away , from now on , Boris to play several English horror movies : "The Sorcerers" , "Curse of Red Altar" and other countries as Italy : "Black Sabbath" , Spain : " Cauldron of Bood" and Mexico : " Cult of the Dead" , : The Incredible Invasion" , "Fear Chamber" . For the ocassion Karloff , without makeup , puts weird faces , twisted gestures and terrific manners , causing a deeply creepy impression . Karloff is very well accompanied by a good support cast , such as : Elizabeth Allan , Jean Kent , Tim Turner Vara Day and special mention for Anthony Dawson as police Inspector Burk .
There's a magnificently atmospheric cinematography , heightened by professional cameraman Lionel Banes providing vivid black and white photography . This literate terror thriller was competently directed by Robert Day . This British director was a good artisan who made all kinds of genres as adventures , thriler , terror , such as : "The Big Game" , " Corridors of Blood" , " Click and the dead" , "Initiation of Sarah" , "Man with Bogart's Face" , " Grass is always Greener over the Septic Tank", "She" , "The Way Stretch" . Furthermore , he made TV series episodes from Dallas, Disleyland , The Sixth Sense , Ghost story , Sam Cade , Matt Lincoln , The Bold ones , Ironside, FBI , The Invaders The avengers , among others .
