What can one say about this? A Hammer film that is often classified as one of its 'psychological thrillers', yet doesn't really fit with the others in that category. A 'kitchen sink' drama that is largely set in a Kensington mews house?

Anyway, this stars Rita Tushingham as a naive newcomer to London, as its 'swinging' era was ending, and Shane Briant as the unlikely psycho serial killer who gets her into his clutches. The film is undoubtedly controversial: some view it as a mini-masterpiece, but almost as many see it as almost unwatchable rubbish. I wouldn't subscribe to either of those extremes - it's certainly watchable, but hardly captivating and not wholly coherent.

Best reason for watching this is perhaps to see the fashions, cars and buildings of London at the time. Why are so many London-based films of that era obsessed with 'Kensington mews' locations though? I doubt whether most Brits even know (or knew) what these are.

Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
A very good classic.

Italian Connection 3/6 , Ive seen two of these italian crime films and theyre not really exciting.....the end was decent i spose but i expect more

European Vacation

The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (John Travolta, 1976).

I remember seeing this as a child and being desperately jealous that he got to live in a bubble, away from people.
