This early serial killer film stars Tony Beckley as Kenny an unstable man driven to murderous excess by the religious fundamentalism of his mother Birdie ( Ann Todd ) and her unrelenting minister ( a very hammy Patrick Magee ). A young nurse and her journalist sister try to break the hold of the cult.
It's interesting in parts but the narrative isn't strong enough to really hold your attention.
Madeleine Hinde ( as Brigitte )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Madeleine is the heroine in this film as the concerned nurse.
Suzanna Leigh ( as Patricia )
Sex : Patricia finds herself the object of Birdie's lesbian affections when she is baptised
Death : Survives
This was one of Suzanna's last films.
Jeanette Wild ( as Prostitute )
Sex : She services a client just before her death
Death : Strangled by Kenny
This was another whore role for Jeanette
Diana Chappell ( as Poolside girl )
Sex : She sunbathes topless
Death : Killed by Kenny ( offscreen )
This was Diana's only film role though she has TV credits between 1964 and 1973
Susanna East ( as teenaged girl )
Sex : She starts having sex with Kenny in a swimming pool
Death : Drowned by Kenny
This is one of three films Susanna made in a short acting career in the seventies.
Hani Borelle ( as riverside girl )
Sex : She is stripped after death
Death : Strangled by Kenny
Hani was a bit part actress active in the early seventies.
