In the Devil's Garden

Top badass moment? It’s good to see a Morris Minor Traveller in action, (possibly the most uncool car ever). I guess that explains why it didn’t make FLAG’s shortlist for Michael Knight. Shame it gets stuck in the first bit of wet ground (in an otherwise bone-dry woodland) its little skinny tyres can find. Can’t help thinking school, hospital and police procedures have changed a bit since this film was made; they’re almost laughably bad in places. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Two British schoolgirls are raped and one of them murdered by a psychopath, and when one of the girl's teachers catches a glimpse of the killer, she agrees to be set up as bait to catch him. A decent little thriller with some good suspense but the red herrings are very obvious. Lacks the style of Italian giallos and the ending is so sudden that it's almost anticlimactic.
