I find it really interesting that a movie like this with such a self aware killer was made all the way back in the early 1950s. This trope has become commonplace today but it’s very cool to see how serial killers were perceived back then and how people thought they acted.
This is a pretty solid movie and an engaging watch. Despite some relatively poor acting it kept me interested for the majority of its runtime so I can give it credit for that at least.
