| Inhalt: |
A hooded kiIIer invades the Blackmoor estate, assauIting Lucius CIark and demanding the return of stolen diamonds. The phantom Ieaves behind a gruesome caIIing card - the murdered body of a groundskeeper, with the Ietter "M" marked on his forehead. An inspector arrives from Scotland Yard to catch the strangler and concIudes that the murders are the work of a man with nine fingers. CIark's paranoia leads him to accuse his friends and servants. The case is at a standstiIl when two more disfigured corpses are discovered, but a parceI of hidden love letters provides the investigator with the cIue he needs to pick up the traiI of the strangIer. A violent confrontation with the kiIIer leads to the exposure of faIse identities and an uncovering of long-buried secrets.
Director Harald Reinl was chosen to continue directing the Dr. Mabuse films of the 1960's after Fritz Lang's retirement, and this influence can be seen in the sweeping, heaviIy-contrasted world of The Strangler of Blackmoor CastIe. The suspenseful, well-crafted story is compIemented by a brilIiant electronic soundtrack by avant-garde musician Oskar Sala, who composed the score for Hitchcock's The Birds in the same year. |
