Thomas W @Enigma0999 Nov 30 Good movie great acting but overall hard to watch the sadness of the film. See more Andy B 05/25/2024 Based on the true story of John Christie, this film has Richard Attenborough in the role of Christie and John Hurt as the hapless Tim Evans. It was (apparently) shot in the actual locations, and that adds to the reality of the piece. The main matter of the film covers Christie’s murder of Beryl Evans and her daughter and the subsequent trial of Tim Evans for the murder. There is no gore, and very little violence. The tension is created by Attenborough who speaks in a whisper throughout and somehow manages to look innocent while being manipulative and murderous. He is balanced by John Hurt, playing the illiterate truck driver that Christie fools and ultimately uses as his patsy. Excellent performance from all involved..

See more 01/02/2022 Tense, gruesome and anxiety inducing. Excellent film. See more jon c 01/29/2021 Starring Richard Attenborough and John Hurt. Based on the real life serial killer John Christie who murdered a dozen women masquerading as a doctor in his local residence. He was a decorated police officer during the war but lured in many of his victims, killed them and finally burying them in his backyard cemetery. Based on the book by Ludovic Kennedy. Beryl and Timothy have just moved into a new flat with their baby, the landlord just happens to be Mr. Christie. After Christie does his latest killing he creates a scapegoat for getting away with it. The movie acts like more of a slow burner watching his plan take shape; seeing someone else take the blame for it is distressing. Attenborough is brilliant playing this calm but ultimately frightening monster of a character. His voice seems kind but he could snap at any moment given his piercing eyes and unpredictable thinking. Hurt is helplessly lost completely oblivious to this killer's methods. Essentially the movie and the book has its players kicking down a downwards spiral. The evil acts of someone can only go unnoticed for so long. John Christie was one of the most notorious killers in London that almost got away with it. It's still terrifying seeing someone like this carefully making his way around throwing so much suspicion out the window. See more 06/10/2020 A murder/mystery movie from the 70's? Usually means a very poorly developed plot with generic cinematography, but I was very impressed with "10 Rillington Place"! The movie had such a gloomy, dark look to it; something that is hard to achieve in a film shot in color. In that way, it's almost reminiscent of the film-noir era in the 40's and early 50's.
