Plot
A remake of the 1931 Fritz Lang original: in the city, someone is killing children, and the underworld joins the hunt.
Sinekatalog’s take
Joseph Losey's remake, with David Wayne, is tense and visually strong, moved to Los Angeles, though less chilling than Lang's.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
