The Strangler1964

Horror Vault's take

In early 1960s Los Angeles, a meek and socially stunted lab technician harbors a murderous rage beneath a quiet exterior, preying on female nurses in a series of chilling strangulations. Victor Buono delivers a commanding performance as a man whose twisted inner world has been shaped by a suffocating relationship with his overbearing mother. As the body count rises, detectives close in on a killer hiding in plain sight. This slow-burn psychological portrait draws as much from character study as it does from suspense.
