This was filmed in 1960 In 1960 psychiatry was not the absurd even the kids go 2x a calendar week thing & As this Dr said ELECTROSHOCK was an choice. Drs barely had whatever idea what they were doing. Anyone admitting they were seeing a psychiatrist might about every bit well have said they had leprosy. This... For it'south day... Is quite amazing. Information technology might even have encouraged 1,000s to seek aid, equally debatable equally information technology was given it'southward primitiveness.

Stop Me Earlier I Kill isn't as monumentally bad equally the title might lead one to believe, which isn't really much of an endorsement. Information technology is bad, but just not monumentally bad. From a product signal of view, it's actually pretty decent, nearly notably the effective cinematography. The problem hither is clearly the story, which involves a racecar driver who is, ironically enough, seriously injured in a non-race related car crash, leaving him with an exceptionally bad temper and the strange want to strangle his wife, who seems quite delightful. The troubled couple see a psychiatrist who offers to assist the immature lovers, just his motives are questionable. The story is absurd from the offset and becomes flagrantly ridiculous when the twist is introduced in the final human action. The pic tries to exist Hitchcock, but only succeeds is rise to a higher place the level of Ed Wood.

Early sixties psycodrama has a race car legend losing his heed after a car accident on his honeymoon. Moody, imbalenced and recovering from the accident he faces months of torment believing he may impale someone, probably his French wife. One of the "icons of suspense" collection of Hammer films. The first half made me quit watching, but that was the first half of the film. Stop Me Before I Kill! (1961) fabricated me stop watching before it ended. Later on visits to a psychiatrist he believes is after his wife, Colby (Ronald Lewis) begins to get at the truth of his subversive tendancies. He feels he is truely going mad. But as a good patient he does everything equally instructed by his psychiatrist. Worth watching once. By the way, the Full Treatment means the psychiatrist'due south concluding try at curing his patient. The problem is this, is the patient really crazy?

The problem is this, is the patient really crazy?

What could have been a taunt, psychological thriller from Hammer films gets watered down by too much psychoanalysis sessions and too little genuine tension or brutality. This film starts awesomely with its delineation of a abandoned vehicle, and it has stylish moments throughout the moving-picture show, but it goes on way likewise long and drags too much.

What could have been a taunt, pychological thriller from Hammer films gets watered down by too much psychoanalysis sessions and too petty 18-carat tension or brutality. This picture starts awesomely with its depiction of a auto wreck, and it has stylish moments throughout the film, but it goes on way too long and drags too much.

A race automobile driver, Alan Colby (Ronald Lewis), recovering from a near-fatal auto accident finds himself possessed by near uncontrollable urges to murder his married woman (Diane Cilento) whenever they are intimate. She convinces him to seek the help of a psychiatrist (Claude Dauphin), but things go from bad to worse when the good doctor proves to take agendas across helping his patient recover. "Stop Me Before I Kill!" (a far weaker title than the original, "The Full Handling"), has the makings of an fantabulous psychological thriller, with a cast of characters who each seem simple enough on the surface, simply who also each accept enough murkiness in their backgrounds that they may be driven by motivations more sinister than the obvious. While it offers some clever twists, it ultimately the motion-picture show ends up where you wait it to, but plenty doubt is thrown on the consequence along the way that the film is withal enjoyable. Withal, a couple of key missteps proceed it from existence as good equally it could have been. First of all, the moving picture is a bit too scattered as far as its point of view goes. While well-nigh of the film, correctly, is focused around our main protagonist--Alan, the strangely unhinged accident survivor--and events unfold as seen from his point of view, a couple of parts are focused around his well-meaning fiance. While the 2nd of these isn't that damaging to the overall flick, especially since it is function of the final confrontation between the film'due south primary characters, the beginning one is feels similar a detour from the remainder of the motion-picture show that needed to exist handled very differently. Second, the creepy psychiatrist gets way too creepy, way too fast. He is so strange and unpleasant from the very outset that there is never any question in the minds of viewers that he is a Bad Guy. Partway through the picture show, as he gains the trust of the protagonist, a little scrap of doubt almost whether we've misjudged him begins to creep in, but even earlier we're washed 2d-guessing ourselves, the flick proves that we were right all along: Not merely is a he a Bad Guy, simply he'southward a Very Bad Guy. The picture show, which managing director Invitee co-wrote the script for, would have been much ameliorate served if the psychiatrist had come across more likable early, and then taken on a piddling flake of shadow and sinisterness as Alex grows increasingly paranoid and manifestly basics. It would have helped the pic's overall "but considering you lot're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you"-vibe. It would besides take strengthened the what-is-now a fairly half-hearted effort to brand the wife expect like she is out to go Alex, too. Her background hints that she may have reasons, simply the fashion the motion-picture show is structured never quite makes it conceivable that she may take it in for him. And in films like this, information technology's important that at one or more points in the story, the protagonist appears to be all lonely and beset by enemies on all sides. Fairly typical of the thrillers and dramas that were Hammer's breadstuff-and-butter before the studio discovered full-color monsters and babes in flimsy nightgowns, "End Me Earlier I Kill Over again!" is not necessarily a film I would exit of my way to seek out, just it's a fleck of non-offensive filler in "Icons of Suspense," the multi-film DVD collection of Hammer'southward black-and-white co-productions with Columbia Pictures.

Ane of Hammer'southward more than obscure thrillers (in fact, it was a product of Falcon studios which was a subsidiary of Hammer) this film has been released on DVD as role of Columbia's recent HAMMER FILMS: THE ICONS OF SUSPENSE Drove. Ronald Lewis plays a British racer who gets into an accident on the fashion to cantankerous the Dover ferry with his newlywed wife (lovely Diane Cilento who would be in a number of Hammer productions). After his long recovery, the broken man finally leaves infirmary to bask his long-delayed honeymoon but fears he has developed a homocidal urge to kill his wife and presently finds himself seeking psychiatric advice from a French psychologist (Claude Dauphin) holidaying in the French Riviera only who has offices in London (pocket-size world). Though the success of PSYCHO owes a lot to why this moving-picture show was fabricated, like MANIAC this film was inspired more past LES DIABOLIQUES. Information technology a bit overlong and very talky in parts which probably is why it wasn't terribly successful just its worth a await if you are a Hammer fan.
