REVIEWED



"It must be wonderful being raped... I wouldn't have told on you." - kinky old librarian Louise (Luana Anders)



Sexually repressed homicidal psychopath movies don't get much more lurid than Curtis Harrington's The Killing Kind. After being imprisoned for 2 years on a rape rap Terry (John Savage) returns home to his mother Thelma's (Ann Sothern) guest house. Its not long before his sexual urges start to take over him, and also his urge to get revenge on the women who incriminated him for rape.


Really twisted 70s treat thats so outlandish its hilarious. Features a real stellar cast of familiar faces. The writers Tony Crechales & George Edwards must have been two real sick puppies for coming up with so many bizarre situations.


[Personal Reasons For Remembering]

Terrys surreal little daydream of being a baby and groping a chicks boob, while being told its naughty by the more elderly house guests. Thelma taking a quick picture of her son showering then asking for one her special back rubs are just a few of the many woaahhhhh moments.
