At this time from the tripod suddenly pops out the peak and kills her. Later, he takes off when the corpse of a prostitute takes police. Mark photographs naked young women in the studio below the boutique owner, who trades there images of naked women …
Review: I still find it hard to believe that this film was a half century ago in the first place I was led to confusion feelings that he has caused. The film shocked me, every detail separately and result in general, and is now unfortunately rare. Well, to those old pictures, like this one made me such a strong impression? I do not recall a single case.
The first thing I was struck by the material. The fact that the protagonist of the maniac, people with severe disabilities in the mind and the story is from his face. In this film we see the world through his eyes (or rather his movie camera), and begin to empathize with him. We do not like it, but it’s not a cardboard image of a mask and a machete, a living person, which even in some moments can be compared with each other. The operator and the main character, brilliantly played a role, take us into the dark world of Mark Lewis, and even after so many years of brilliant work that they have done, does not tarnish and can plunge into shock. Music is also pleased, very diverse. And the rest of the cast quite well performed their roles. Film realistic, almost never got to question the credibility of what is happening, and for those years is also wow
