I agree with you about the bleakness of the mid-seventies UK as depicted on film, and few convey that more effectively than Pete Walker. The grainy film quality, period clothes and attitudes and horrendous wallpaper - it's all here! Lynne Frederick has always been underrated as an actress. She's great here throughout - she even carries the wonderfully nonsensical twist-ending. That and some serious gore make this one of my favourites from this set. Great review!
Great film. Love the kills and bleakness. Way better than today's PC tripe.
Cool review Graham. On my watch list. Just like many others 😂
An absolute banger from the Un-PC 1970s. Pete Walker did a few proto-slashers and they all have surprisingly good production values.

70s clothing referred to as “period clothes” ?? i guess they are now haha
It was always about the Punk attitude. Taking the piss is a given.
