Description by OLDIES.com:
Director Harald Reinl was chosen to continue directing the Dr. Mabuse films of the 1960's after Fritz Lang's retirement, and this influence can be seen in the sweeping, heavily-contrasted world of The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle. The suspenseful, well-crafted story is complemented by a brilliant electronic soundtrack by avant-garde musician Oskar Sala, who composed the score for Hitchcock's The Birds in the same year.

Based on 600 ratings.
German krimi horror based on an Edgar Wallace mystery. A nine-fingered killer in a black leather jacket and ski mask chokes to death those associated with an arrogant baron who's about to be knighted. It's all about some missing diamonds hidden in a cigar tube. A couple get decapitated - one via the "Toby Dammit" method ala Spirits of the Dead, and one has his head mailed to the castle in a box. All the victims get an "M" branded on their foreheads. Other sinister events include a guy wanting to use a diamond-cutting drill on a woman's eye and exploration of secret passageways. It's set in England, badly dubbed, and uses a Scottish birdwatcher for comedy relief. Fairly atmospheric.
i am a great fan of the 'krimi' films of the 60s and this is one the most enjoyable. great atmosphere, reasonable dubbing, creepy locations and an unusual story. i thoroughyl recommend this film for those who like a good murder mystery.
