Now grown up, both of his parents dead, Mark works by day as a focus-puller for a London movie studio. He moonlights by taking girlie pictures above a news agent's shop. But Mark has also taken up a horrifying hobby: He murders women while using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror. One evening, Mark meets and befriends Helen Stephens, a young woman who rents one of the rooms in his house. Does Helen represent some kind of possible redemption for Mark - or is she unknowingly running the risk of becoming one of his victims? IMDB

Review:
Fantastic!
A very different movie, with a great plot.

Not everyone will like this movie - it is old and British, and it might lose a lot of people. But you've got to try it! This movie is all about the psychological aspects and thoughts of a killer.

Once banned in Sweden and Finland.

For the movie:









And because I admire it so much:
