One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski; Produced by Helmut Jedele; Executive Producer: Judd Bernard, a British-German co-production for Paramount Pictures release. Screenplay by Skolimowski, Jerzy Bruza and Boleslaw Sulik; Photography by Charly Steinberger; Edited by Barrie Vince; Music by Can and Cat Stevens. Starring: Jane Asher, John Moulder-Brown, Karl Michael Vogler, Diana Dors, Christopher Sandford, Louise Martini, Erica Beer, Dieter Epler and Anita Lochner.
Excellent horror film by Polish expatriate Jerzy Skolimowski in the tradition of his fellow countryman Polanski's "Repulsion". It's subtle, unpredictable and idiosyncratic -Jerzy-style. Fifteen-year-old John Is taunted and ultimately turned by Jane, only in her death, with Jerzy finding bizarre horror in John's treatment by callous friends and in the shocking ending sequence.
