This classic British chiller recounts the horrifying true story of serial killer John Christie, portrayed with chilling precision by Richard Attenborough. When Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife (Judy Geeson) rent a room in Christie's terraced house, they unknowingly step into a nightmare, becoming entangled in his twisted and murderous web. Directed by Richard Fleischer with stark realism, the film was shot on the original street where the crimes occurred, incorporating exteriors from the actual house for a grimly authentic recreation of the events.
