Customer Reviews
A fascinating curio from the legendary William Castle
The plot description above really does not do this film justice. I programmed a special screening of this film as part of the San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival in the early '90s and the audience loved it. HOMICIDAL is a shamelessly exploitative and wonderfully intriguing adventure in 1960s gender psychology starring the remarkable Jean Arless (whose actual gender is never revealed, but we're pretty sure she's a woman who does good male drag). The film starts with a girl happily seated at her dollhouse. She's interrupted by a young boy, who steals her doll (but, is he a boy?). Flash forward to a marriage, a murder, a lonely mansion, and a mute, wheelchair-bound woman from Denmark. Lured in yet? Director William Castle was in top form with this spooky movie. Castle was a master of horror film marketing —HOMICIDAL features a "Fright Break" near the end to give the timid time to scram. Dismissed as a mere PSYCHO rip-off in its day, HOMICIDAL turns out to be something else again, offering an eerie commentary on what makes boys boys and girls girls.
