Based on Ludovic Kennedy's investigative book, '10 Rillington Place' is the true and horrifying story of English mass murderer John Christie (chillingly played by Richard Attenborough).
When Timothy Evans (John Hurt), his wife Beryl (Judy Geeson) and their young daughter move into Christie's house, they unknowingly sign their death warrants. Christie offers to help Beryl have an abortion and uses this opportunity, as he has already done with previous victims, to strangle and rape her. Believing himself to be an accomplice to a fatal abortion, Evans panics and flees with the hope that his child will be looked after; in fact, Christie kills her too. Evans is arrested, charged with double murder, found guilty and hanged. But Christie continues to kill...
Attenborough and Hurt give unforgettable performances in this thought-provoking, frightening and atmospheric true crime classic directed by Richard Fleischer.
