Night, After Night, After Night. (1971)


Directed by Lindsay Shonteff
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, VEC)

Girls are being stalked and murdered by a knife wielding sex maniac in London. A police detective assigned to the case considers a swinging young stud his primary suspect. When his wife turns up as the next victim he will do anything to apprehend him, even if he is innocent. There are two other suspects that we as an audience can consider: a judge who takes out his frustrations in the courtroom by imposing stiff penalties on young offenders, and his assistant who likes to frequent strip clubs after work. The identity of the killer is not very surprising. The film reminded me of De Palma's Dressed to Kill released 10 years later, just not as sophisticated.
