Director: Leonard Kastle
Shot in a grainy grey and white helps to give the film an amateurish and at the same time realistic feel, particularly as it's based on true events. With standout performances from Lo Bianco and Stoler, this is a forgotten gem.
Made with care, authenticity and attention to detail.
Top CriticThe filmmakers have refused to romanticize the brutality of the criminals at the heart of the film.
A pulp classic ranking near the top of its particular post-Hays Code, pre-MPAA moment.
Small in scale and realistic in style, this gritty picture, about a couple who murder lonelyhearts women, is charged with piercing intelligence and amazing intensity.
This groundbreaking movie shows the power of "tone."

It is one of the best and, curiously, most beautiful American movies in recent years.
Top CriticNo review available.
A richly drawn disturbing film that never seemed exploitative.
Delivered in sobering and dramatic black and white, it’s quite possibly one of the most honest and compelling ‘bio-pics’ ever conceived.

Such a wild and sad piece of cinema that the knowledge that it’s based on truth seems incidental.
Creepy and memorable with a great death-by-hammer scene.
t's hard to see whether director Kastle has attempted a semi-documentary or a schlock-horror number. The film has elements of both and often slides into kitsch.
Ray and Martha are violent for their desperation, their fiction the more vilified of the late 60’s, early 70’s crime couples.
A landmark shockumentary
Leonard Kastle brings a spare dignity and genuine depth of characterization to his exploitation subject.
