Recommended to me by the good ole You Tube robots, this one definitely comes out of left field as Micky Dolenz, a few years after the Monkees demise stars in this B-movie blunder. However, as you will read from real reviews below, it's actually a pretty interesting film. Rife with bad acting, poor production and really bad stunts (come on, at least make it look like the guy threw a real punch!) this one somehow carves a niche. What that niche is, I have no idea. It sure gives an earnest try at being a murder-mystery and for that, we give it a nominal One & 1/2 Pinewoods.....The Horror!!

THE NIGHT OF THE STRANGLER - Jim Helms - "Holy Nightmare" (1972)
I waited and waited, and struggled and strived to find this movie, and then, through the miracle of the The Trash Palace, Brian Horrorwitz made it happen, but......... Now I know why "The Night Of The Strangler" was so freakin' hard to find, because nobody wants you to see this movie, and it can be a hard movie to watch!!
THE HORROR!!
