    What an Ending!

    I have to admit that my copy of this film is very poor. I bought it on e-bay; and, it looks to have been transferred from VHS (white fuzzy bars on each side; and, very dark; and, it skips all the time.) But, you get what you pay for; and, this one is awful hard to find.

    The story is that a London killer is bent on revenging a wartime conspiracy; each victim is found with a little doll in the victim's likeness.

    This stylishly done thriller unfolds as the investigators uncover the unlikely connections between the varied characters in the film. I think the plot is quite solid; and, plausible. The story is well acted, as well.

    The director has given THE PSYCHOPATH a taught, thrilling atmosphere that keeps you off balance throughout… even when the story drags a bit.

    The dolls definitely land this film in the horror genre. When we first meet the doll maker and her son, these innocent dolls already seem eerie and sinister.

    And, WOW, watch out at the end!

    Entertaining and enjoyable without too many flaws

    When a series of strange murders is found to contain a miniaturized doll next to the victim, the resulting police investigation leads to a mysterious doll collector and her deranged son that has far more connections than they expected.

    Not all that particularly memorable 60s-era slasher, as it's mostly helped along by a clever little twist that adds immensely to the chill-factor of the film by having the dolls' be a likeness of their victim left at the murder scene and they're quite creepy when shown. Several of the stalking scenes are overall above-average and rather thrilling, and the ending revelation is overall one of the better parts of the film, though there's several difficult areas here. The biggest is the slow-pace involved where it tends to focus on the police investigation and their rather laid-back nature that doesn't make for a real exciting time, the series of red herrings doesn't have any real value since they don't impact the investigation at all, and there's a few mishandled scenes that don't really need to be there. Overall, there's a lot to like and not a lot to dislike here.

    Today's Rating/PG: Violence.

    Giallo UK-style.

    Amicus's The Psychopath could be considered a British giallo, the film bearing several of the hallmarks of the genre: a mysterious killer in leather gloves; many suspects; a sexy young woman (blonde beauty Judy Huxtable); the use of a haunting music-box melody; and creepy dolls aplenty. Made in 1966, just three years after the first true giallo, Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much, the film is written by Robert 'Psycho' Bloch, directed by Hammer stalwart Freddie Francis, and stars Partrick Wymark as Inspector Holloway, the detective trying to solve a string of murders in which a doll is left by the side of each victim. However, despite these hefty credentials, the film is strictly routine stuff, with little of the bizarre plot twists, creative death scenes, and hyper-stylised visuals that the giallo is renowned for.

    Francis does make great use of colour in his film, especially in the home of wheelchair-bound doll collector Mrs. Von Sturm (Margaret Johnston), and performances are solid all round, but the film needed a little something special to make it a more memorable experience (some bright red gore wouldn't have gone amiss in my opinion).

    horror/thriller in the Psycho mode

    Freddie Francis directed The Psychopath, a 1966 horror/thriller. The stars are Patrick Wymark, Margaret Johnson, Alexander Knox, and Judy Huxtable.

    Inspector Holloway (Wymark) investigates murders by what appears to be a serial killer, who leaves a lookalike of the victim in the form of a doll next to each body. Four men are killed, none in the same way. These men play in a string quartet but actually knew one another in the war.

    The dolls are traced to Mrs. Von Sturm (Johnson) who lives with her son in a house that has dolls everywhere. She considers them human, and talks to them. The men killed were in fact part of a committee that discredited Mrs. Von Sturm's husband during the war, so she seems a likely suspect. However, Mrs. Von Sturm, though she seems bonkers, is confined to a wheelchair. Holloway's interest turns to the fiancée of Louise (Huxtable), who is the daughter of one of the men (Knox) who was murdered.

    This is pretty good - some people reviewing on this site saw the film as children, and I can see where it would have left a major impression on them. It is a derivative story, very strange, and Francis has a good atmosphere going, if the pace at times is a little slow. If you like this kind of film, you will like seeing this one.

    Decent thriller, but lacking

    First of all, I have to say that my copy of this film is poor in the extreme and so I might not have got 'the full effect'. But even so, Freddie Francis' The Psychopath is a rather mundane thriller that takes most of its influence from superior works such as those of Alfred Hitchcock, and doesn't particularly do anything new. The plot focuses on post-world war 2 revenge, and follows the murder of four men. The men were involved in the murder of a German millionaire, and the only other clue that Inspector Holloway has to go on is the fact that small dolls were found next to each corpse. Are the murders something to do with a doll maker and her son? Freddie Francis made a lot of the best films that Amicus had to offer, and although this is both an Amicus and a Freddie Francis film; it's not a high point for either. The plot has just about enough about it to hold the audience's interest for the film's duration, although it does drag at times and I think I'd have enjoyed this film more if it was a little more streamlined. The dolls are what ties the film to the horror genre, as they're eerie looking and creepy; but otherwise, this is more of a by the numbers thriller with only a couple of twists thrown in. The Psychopath is rather difficult to come by, and since it's not all that good; I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to find a copy.

      Late in the movie, when Mark Von Sturm (Sir John Standing) is in the café, the rock song that is blaring out of the jukebox is "How Can It Be" by The Birds, a London based rhythm and blues band that featured Ronnie Wood (later in The Jeff Beck Group and the Rolling Stones) and Kim Gardner (Ashton, Gardner, and Dyke).
