Synopsis
The people of London fear for their lives after reading about the many peculiar murders happening in the city using curious tools such as binoculars with needles in the eyepieces. Crime journalist Edmund Bancroft, is the man responsible for writing these stories on the crime. Everyone in London, including Scotland Yard, is baffled by the seemingly unsolvable murders; but not Edmund Bancroft. This is because, he seized the opportunity to come up with an attention-grabbing article by making up these horrible acts of murder himself. He collaborates with his assistant, Rick and together the two men manage a "black museum" from where all the "tools" are derived.

Customer Reviews

decent little flick
Low budget Brit Horror with Michael Gough over acting as usual. Some film critics with too much time on their hands have likened this to Peeping Tom as it touches on similar themes. It's no where near as good, but
perfectly ok on it's own low budget merits.

Great for it's time
My mum watched this film when it came out in the cinema in 1959. She said it was scary. She could only remember the scene with the binoculars. She has never forggoten that scene. So i was delighted to find it on Amazon at such a bargin price. I watched it myself it was very gory even though it was bright red blood. It is well thought out and the black museum itself is quite macarbe. This film is a real gem.
