An unknown man has raped and strangled several innocent women in London. The notorious distinguisting feature is that the victims have all been strangled with a tie. Nobody is safe as long as the killer on the loose.
Richard Blaney (Jon Finch) is a man with not much money and not many friends. One of the friends he got is the cocky Robert Rusk (Barry Foster). But what Richard has no clue of, is that Robert is the raper and murderer. When Richard is accused for raping and strangling his friend, Brenda (Barbara Leigh-Hunt), he has to find out the truth before it's too late.
This movie contains some really unpleasant scenes, such as the horrifying rape-scene. I was filled with such hate against that awful Robert Rusk when I saw that scene. He's a monster, really. Not worthy to live.
Barry Foster who's playing Rusk is probably not like the caracter, but I can't help thinking that maybe he is. He's very convincing as Rusk, which makes it all even more unpleasant. The caracter is so scary and awful that you just want to grab a gun and shoot him or something...
I'm not what you would call fond of the style of this movie. The style of the decade. 70's isn't famous for having lovely clothes, that's what I think. It also seems like a time of a mess of drugs and negative freedom. Dirty in some way. I like it more when it's clean...
