You shall not see in the New year. During WW II as one of the Luftwafte air raids hits London, Reginald Parker, a successful actor, is knocked out and heavily concussed. Upon awaking he believes himself to be Edward Grey, the notorious Brighton Strangler he has been portraying on the stage! Clocking in at just 67 minutes, The Brighton Strangler just about has enough time to get in and do it's job excellently. Something of an under seen gem, it's a film that has enough creepy menace about it to reward the black and white thriller film fan. Boasting excellent sets, some very neat camera work from director Max Nosseck, and a fabulous lead performance from John Loder, I personally feel that it deserves to be seen by more people. Typically it's a picture that rarely gets aired on British TV, and when it does it's sadly tucked away on BBC 2 at some ungodly hour in the AM. Until films like this get decent exposure from our TV schedulers then they are going to remain criminally under seen. So keep your eyes out for this one, the formula may now be seen as old hat, but transport yourself back to 1945, get out in the London smog and be wary of that hatted man coming towards you... 8/10

This is a rather better effort than I'm used to from John Loder. He's a successful actor who has wowed the audiences with his eponymous portrayal for 300 nights but has now had enough. Planning to head to the seaside for a break with his fiancée "April" (June Duprez) they get caught up in the blitz and next thing he has quite a bandage on his head. Meantime, people start turning up dead, strangled, and he begins to wonder if there isn't something of the "Jekyll" and "Hyde" to his post bump-on-the-head character? There's quite a fun dynamic between the two and a few familiar faces pop up now and again to shore up their leading roles and bring a bit of Transatlantic box-office (Michael St. Angel) to this cheap and cheerful, but perfectly watchable and sometimes quite creepily produced, wartime film noir that has an entertaining twist in it's tail at the end, too.
