I have to admit that my copy of this film is very poor. I bought it on e-bay; and, it looks to have been transferred from VHS (white fuzzy bars on each side; and, very dark; and, it skips all the time.) But, you get what you pay for; and, this one is awful hard to find.
The story is that a London killer is bent on revenging a wartime conspiracy; each victim is found with a little doll in the victim's likeness.
This stylishly done thriller unfolds as the investigators uncover the unlikely connections between the varied characters in the film. I think the plot is quite solid; and, plausible. The story is well acted, as well.
The director has given THE PSYCHOPATH a taught, thrilling atmosphere that keeps you off balance throughout even when the story drags a bit.
The dolls definitely land this film in the horror genre. When we first meet the doll maker and her son, these innocent dolls already seem eerie and sinister.
And, WOW, watch out at the end!
