Great low budget British horror/exploitation film from the mid 1970s. The subject being cannibalism (shocking!).
The cast including the main star Sheila Keith put in top drawer performances added to clever film making by other crew members.
Director Pete Walker shocked with all his films in this period. He was rightly renowned for his anti - establishment film making that shocked some of the liberal press and censors of the time.
In this film we see what can happen when mass murderer's are released early. In this case only 15 years after being sentenced to treatment at a mental institution. It brings sad comparisons to real life cases such as the Bulger kilkers and the Moors Murderers pleas for clemency.
The film has aged well and the print I watched was excellent quality unlike The House Of Mortal Sin, Walker's next film.
Watching this gem has made me want to watch other Walker work including Die Screaming Marianne and House of Whipcord.
