WHAT IS THAT ENDING?!?! Also, Joan Crawford’s eyebrows are vicious in this film.

The promotional posters for Strait-Jacket were not lying when they gave a warning for brutal portrayals of ax murders. 60’s horror films will always be interesting to me because it feels like they were testing the waters of what was and wasn’t okay to show. We have Psycho to thank for that, which isn’t the only link this film has with Psycho, as the writer of this film, Robert Bloch, wrote the novel that Hitchcock’s film is based on. Also, I loved that final Columbia title card with her head removed and lying at her feet. A fun little touch to a brutal 60’s slasher.

eat em up joan!

Omg my sister and I were so locked in this whole movie, and had so many theories while watching. But jesus christ that plot twist was so good we didn’t even expect it.😭 I honestly thought the daughter was very suspicious, and that she had done some of the killing, but I thought it was just her trying to help her mother stay with her, I did not expect that she was plotting against her the whole time, so I was shocked. Also the Columbia logo woman at the end having her head chopped off was perfect

The cinematography is sooooo good! The camera shots were so suspenseful, I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie

Joan Crawford thrillers are my new favorite genre
