Shocking Psycho-Horror from Hammer!, 13 April 2002
Author: Son of Cathode from New England

Incredibly bleak psychological thriller from Hammer really captures the darkest side of the sexual revolution. Imagine a girl running away from home just to find some fop to "give her a baby"! And what a fop she finds! Tushingham is excrutiatingly naive as the beleagured mouse-child, Briant impossibly fey as the brooding beast-man, and the whole drama is absurdly lighthearted and gruesome at once. As in Bergman's PERSONA, the lines of personal and sexual identity between victim and victor are so blurred that one literally becomes the face of the other. (At one point, Rita even dons a foolish wig to look more like her captor, to honor him, as it were.) More than mere sado-masochism, this nightmare fairy tale vividly depicts the brutal destiny in store for those who know not themselves, nor what they want. (The schizophrenic editing also aptly illustrates the fragmented psyche of the times.) By far the best thing Hammer ever churned out.
