From a personal perspective, this film has much in common with "Schizo". I watched them both on the big screen shortly after they were released, and watched them again recently. Both are low budget efforts with somewhat improbable plots; both have dashes of nudity from the damsel – this with somewhat less; both have endings decidedly at odds with their respective narratives. And both deliver.
"Deadly Strangers" is part road movie, part mystery, and part psychological thriller. Clearly the road movie element is a tall order in a country a fraction of a size of the United States, but every work of honest fiction is entitled to some poetic licence.
Herein, former child star Hayley Mills plays a young woman who clearly has issues, and just as clearly has more on her plate than missing the last train home. The big question: Is her enigmatic companion the escaped lunatic, and if so, will the police arrive in time? To find out for certain you must wait until the very end.
