Review of 10 Rillington Place (1971) by Mereie D — 27 Aug 2009
Historical murder thriller based on a true story. The pace of this movie is rather slow. This is not necessarily a problem (and perhaps inevitable to some extent when one is dealing with real facts), but with a theme like this, a lack of pace ought to be compensated by some actual suspense, in my opinion.
Needless to say, we aren't getting this either. Whenever something unnerving happens (Christie ensnaring another victim, Evans being hung for crimes he never committed), one doesn't really care that much.
Good acting by Hurt, Attenborough and the others, though. And the film gives an accurate depiction of Britain in the 1940s.
