    • Quotes

      [Inspector Russell and Alice Norton's fiancee are questioning John after he fatally attacks Mildred]

      Jimmy Kane: We heard a woman screaming.

      John Harrington: Screaming?

      Inspector Russell: Yes. We certainly heard.

      John Harrington: Oh, Inspector! You're allowing yourself to be influenced by a very impressionable young man, I'm surprised at you. It's not worthy of you, you know.

      [John motions Russell and Kane to his living room TV set, and turns it on to a broadcast of "Black Sabbath"]

      Maria: [from the TV] No... no, don't touch me! Leave me alone!

      [she is greeted by Gorca - Boris Karloff - and she screams multiple times as he approaches her]

      John Harrington: Were these the screams you heard?

      Inspector Russell: Very interesting. You like horror films, do you? I don't find them very entertaining. I keep thinking that... reality is more terrifying than fiction.

    I know I just kill. And shall have to keep on killing, until I find out the truth.
    John (Stephen Forsyth) is trapped in a marriage he cannot escape because his wife (Laura Betti) controls the money. he has a secret that no one suspects - he is a serial killer.

    He kills women on their honeymoon and some that are leaving him to get married. He is trying to finds some answers. he is completely crazy, of course.

    Inspector Russell (Jesús Puente), who seems to be channeling Columbo, is trying to find out what happened to several women who are missing. He shows just as John has killed his wife, who continues to haunt him even after she is buried.

    He eventually discovers the secret he has repressed in this suspenseful film that forgoes nudity and gore for suspenseful terror and madness.
