Review of The Killing Kind (1974) by Tony P — 09 Apr 2012
A young and handsome but impotent mama's boy takes revenge on the ladies who crossed him (mocking the man's sexual ineptitude will guarantee an early exit). Neatly directed by Curtis Harrington ("Games", "Night Tide", "Ruby"), this oedipal thriller is sufficiently creepy, but its misogynistic depiction of women as tarts whose antics are deserving of violence by a male psychopath (hence inadvertently portraying him as sympathetic) leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
