more Wallace krimis on DVD NTSC R1, please!, 26 April 2006
7/10
Author: CryFi from Lansingburgh, New York, USA

Enjoyable krimi film; I really need to see more of these. A man in black strangles people and threatens an old man to reveal where the diamonds he stole are hidden. The old man's niece is a journalist, so naturally she becomes interested in the story of the strangler (without knowing how her uncle is involved) and the police also investigate.

Reasonable suspects include the old man's strange butler, and the eccentric Lord of the castle, among others.

Despite the title, the "Strangler" also carves an "M" into his victims' foreheads and decapitates two of them, one of them right before our eyes.

As with the last Wallace krimi I watched, this one has people looking through peepholes, and secret passages.

Watched Alpha's DVD of this; no complaints.
