 Gripping story, but... August 8, 2008
Junius (London, Middlesex United Kingdom)
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a very atmospheric thriller with excellent performances by the cast, especially Richard Attenborough.
However, this film is based on the book of the same name, and suffers from the same faults.
It passes off as fact what is uncertain in order to present the viewer with a black and white interpretation of these murders. It is far from certain that Christie killed Beryl and Geraldine Evans and the subsequent enquiries concluded that evansd probably did kill his wife. Such interpretations are eschewed here in order to get the film's message across. Poor history, but good entertainment.

i do love true stories about murder, although i seem fairly gruesome for admitting the fact, but there is something utterly compelling about them. This is how i felt about this film, the horrific crimes committed by john christie are known worldwide, but still terrifying to watch in a film adaptation. Richard Attenborough is as usual brilliant in his part as the deranged murderer and keeps us hooked until the end.
 A film to freeze the soul February 6, 2008

The centrepiece of this unsettling study of the depressing banality of human evil is an extraordinary performance by Richard Attenborough as serial killer John Christie. Attenborough plays Christie as a soft-voiced curtain-twitcher hiding behind a thin veneer of respectability - imagine, if you can, a psychopathic Norris from Coronation Street and you're almost there. There's excellent support from John Hurt as his simple-minded lodger Timothy Evans and Judy Geeson as Evans' wife, but it's Attenborough who dominates, bestriding this film like a colossus and delivering the performance of a lifetime. Set in a dark and ravaged post-war London, this film is about as far from the glamour of Hannibal Lecter as it's possible to get, and all the more disturbing for it. Be warned - this is a film that leaves you feeling uneasy long after the credits have rolled.
First hand experience of horror November 17, 2007

I remember following the Christie murders as a kid much to my father's concern but after all, it was all over the papers.
Little did I know that in the early Seventies as a sales rep having lunch in my car one day that I would actually go inside 10 Rillington Place.
They were filming at the actual site (later demolished) and no-one was around. I wish I hadn't gone in, so cold and unwelcoming was the condemned house and I made a swift exit with the experience staying on my mind for days..
The film itself is depressingly brilliant with great performances from Attenborough, Geeson and Hurt ..... the story is well known and puts many an American "serial killer" movie into the shade. Attenborough wasn't known in the States then and it had limited success there.
Those interested in murder for ghoulish reasons needn't bother with this film - there's no explicit sex and blood flying around - but for the intelligent film goer it's an account of how twisted the human mind can be.
An excellent film.
Chilling to the bone... September 22, 2007

One reviewer wrote: "It's impossible for anyone who has seen this film not to be affected by it.." how true!
I saw it on television when I was around seventeen or so, and it scared me badly. Ominous, dark and saturated with an all pervading uneasiness throughout, it WILL remain in the memory always.Pat Heywood who plays Mrs. Christie looks petrified, she knows, and in one chilling segment Reg in all consuming self-pity declares: "I should be in hospital" Mrs. Christie replies: "I know where you should be.." I'll never forget the look she gave him.
Even the authentic exterior street scenes are unsettling.
Truly a horrible case that occurred in our time-essential viewing for the stout hearted.
Truly a masterpiece that will never be bettered.
