Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

HumanoidOfFlesh "Deadly Strangers" opens with opens with a mysterious killer escaping from an asylum-type scene after murdering nurse.Haley Mills misses her train.She accepts a ride from a truck driver,who tries to rape her.She escapes and is then picked up by a mysterious who was watching her in the bar.He behaves suspiciously and may be an escaped lunatic...Very suspenseful and fast-paced thriller with a surprising twist ending often spoiled in various reviews.The film is currently only available on a rare VHS tape.It features Hayley Mills in several nude scenes and is told in flashbacks.The finale is gripping and suspenseful.I haven't seen Sidney Hayers "Assault" and "Revenge",but after enjoying "Deadly Strangers" I'd really like to.8 out of 10.

nb2 A melodramatic and exciting thriller, boasting a dead man's chest full of red herrings plus an excellent British cast ( and Sterling Hayden), this tale of mayhem will likely keep you guessing to the very end as the plot twists and turns with the very lovely and talented Hayley Mills and "Young Winston" star Simon Ward at their best.There is a bonus, too. What Roy Boulting gave us a teeny peek of in "The Family Way" during Miss Mills' bath scene is revealed in it's divine perfection as British Film Industry veteran Sidney Hayers gives us a bathtub scene of his own. The movie belongs to Hayley anyway so that was a nice gift. WOW!

Nathaniel Hinckson Good movie plots remain with me. This is a movie I'd seen as a child and am lucky to find it here. It's a plot I've never forgotten and has quite a twist at the end. The only actor I remembered was Simon Ward. The acting was fine and, like so many of the British movies I've seen, nothing is overdone. No unnecessary violence and things blowing up for the sake of a boom. They don't write enough movies like this one. Other moves like this one is Vanishing Act with Elliot Gould, Silent Partner with Elliot Gould, and Sudden Fury (a very little known Canadian movie which should not be confused with the idiotic action film of the same name).If you're the kind of movie fan who hates predictable movies then this movie is for you.

deskman_83 This 1974 drama revolves around a hitchhiker (Mills) and a motorist (Ward), who meet and get into various amounts of trouble while driving to a town where Mills can catch a train.Hayley must've been desperate to do this one. Could she have gotten any other parts? Except for some neat flashbacks, and of course the ending twist, this tedious, relentless "psychological exploration" is all for naught. Also, it seems deliberately staged for Mills' character to appear in various stages of undress.Sterling Hayden plays a British man who obtained an American accent after spending like 112 years in the States, but his role is completely wasted, as it is only to provide a diversion away from the perpetual lifelessness of the principal leads (sorry, Hayley).Overall, a big tease of a movie, only for fans wanting to see our beloved Hayley unclothed, or just plain bored viewers with nothing better to watch. For another film along the same lines, and of the same caliber, check out Elizabeth Taylor in "The Driver's Seat."Overall Rating: ** out of ****
