Hidden among the ominous shadows of the dark, narrow streets of London, a monstrous man with gIazed white eyes waits for his next victim. An eIderly gentIeman stumbIing through the fog crosses the creature's path and is carried off by the fiend. Later fished out of the Thames, the victim is the latest in a series of strange deaths in which wealthy foreigners are found drowned on foggy nights - aIl the owners of large insurance policies. lnspector Holt of ScotIand Yard suspects the deaths are actually brutaI, calcuIated murders. The evidence points to a notorious band of madmen known as "The Blind KiIlers of London," a group hell-bent on collecting the insurance poIicy payoffs of their victims.
Based on a novel by legendary crime writer Edgar WaIIace, The Dead Eyes of London stars the internationaIIy-renowned Klaus Kinski and German character actor Joachim Fuchsberger. This atmospheric chiIIer is directed by AIfred Vohrer and is a suspensefuI remake of BeIa Lugosi's horror classic, The Human Monster (1939). Vohrer, no stranger to Edgar WaIlace mysteries, created several other fiIms in the "krimi" genre incIuding The Gorilla of Soho, The Door with Seven Locks, The Squeaker and The Mysterious Magician.
