5.0 out of 5 starsSpooky serial-killer performance by Victor Buono
By Jobla on November 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
Victor Buono got a rare starring role in this mid-sixties shocker, in which he portrays a man with serious Mother issues. Nurses are being killed by a serial strangler, and Buono eventually comes under suspicion. He's actually the killer, a fact known to the audience from the beginning. After playing creepy supporting roles in WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE, Buono acquits himself well in this slightly-ahead-of-its-time portrait of a serial killer.

The new MOD from Warner Archives offers a superior print when compared to recent sightings of the film from Sinister Cinema and the TCM network. The image is presented in anamorphic widescreen 1:85-1.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Strangler (Warner Archives Collection)
By Celia Trimboli on December 17, 2015

Pretty good killer-on-the-loose film with Victor Buono as the killer on the loose. He plays a screw loose killer with serious mom issues. Who can blame him for the issues with the nagging little harridan he was born to. Nurses are his preferred target. Buono does a good job here. I ordered a Warner Archives used copy DVD-R and it has some glitches. That's the chance you take when you buy used. Other than that the quality of the DVD-R is very good. Film itself is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsA lead role for Victor Buono... finally!
By The Movie Man VINE VOICE on December 2, 2015
“The Strangler," released in 1964, capitalized on the then-current (then unsolved) Boston Strangler murders. Leon Kroll (Victor Buono, “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”), a paranoid schizophrenic with a mother fixation and a doll fetish, murders ten women in Boston before the police take him down. Kroll is a 30-year-old bachelor whose domineering mother (Ellen Corby) has raised him alone. Her constant put-downs have given him a case of low esteem and a consuming hatred of women. Leon hates his mother and is pleased that she has been in a sanitarium the last two years for heart trouble allowing him to stalk and dispatch his victims without maternal interference.

Director Burt Topper provides a disturbing portrait of Kroll, a hospital lab technician who equates his dolls with his victims. The character is an amalgam of Norman Bates, Charles Manson, and Jack the Ripper. Kroll’s corpulence, dispassionate expression, and preoccupation with dolls make him a creepy villain in this lurid tale of crazed homicidal obsession.

This was a rare starring role for Buono, who usually played supporting roles in feature films and TV shows. Buono is reminiscent of Laird Cregar, a 1940s actor who took on similarly dark roles, such as Jack the Ripper in “The Lodger” and a crazed classical musician in “Hangover Square.” Both men were similar physically and in their ability to suggest a loner with lethal tendencies. Buono would later go on to play King Tut on the “Batman” TV show. Ellen Corby would play gentle, loving Grandma Walton on “The Waltons.” There are no bonus features on this DVD release.
