[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 332797, member: 57984"] Well, it's not, technically, grande dame guignol, but it's one of William Castle's most polished films -- if only his other movies were this smoothly done and confident. Which is not to say HOMICIDAL isn't sufficiently ridiculous. An obvious homage to PSYCHO (and released just a year later) HOMICIDAL gives us a comely bleach-blonde in a period hairdo who bears a bitchin' blade she bleeds the boys and babes who've displeased her with -- but all is not what it seems (she's played by Jean Arliss who is really Joan Marshall). It's not quite as artful as PSYCHO but some find it a bit scarier.
