Aroused (1966)
7/10
excitingly told tale of a sex killer
24 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Gutsy tale with plenty of wonderfully shot crisp b/w photography. Strangely languid in parts (possibly to extend running time) because for the most part well paced, well edited and excitingly told tale of a sex killer prowling the streets of Manhattan. Great opening and first killing (and aftermath) and some of that power returns at times throughout. Novel attempt to give background to the killer's psyche whilst he's in the act and several nice touches make for an enjoyable ride as cops and prostitutes try to find the killer. It all ends in his lair in a fabulous scene with him returning to his room filled with mannequin parts, to hug his teddy bear but find himself surrounded by a pack of call girls intent on removing a vital part of his anatomy!
