The premise

A three-part drama about serial killer John Christie and the murders at 10 Rillington Place in the 1940s and early 1950s.

Horror Vault's take

Behind the unremarkable door of a London terraced house, a monster lived among his neighbours for years. This three-part British miniseries charts the chilling true story of John Christie, one of Britain's most notorious serial killers, bringing the grim atmosphere of postwar working-class London to life. Told across multiple perspectives, it examines how Christie operated undetected and the devastating consequences for those who crossed his threshold. Tim Roth delivers a quietly terrifying central performance that lingers long after the final episode.
