Frenzy (1972)

In the ominous shadows of London, a chilling terror unfurls as a ruthless serial killer, known ominously as 'The Necktie Murderer', stalks the streets. The murderer's gruesome signature - the brutal violation and strangulation of his victims with an ordinary necktie - sends waves of panic rippling through the city. Caught in the midst of this terrifying tableau is Richard Blaney, a hot-tempered bartender with a penchant for recklessness, who finds his life spiralling downwards when he is abruptly fired from the Global Public House. Seeking solace and assistance, Richard turns to his ex-wife Brenda, a successful entrepreneur with a thriving marriage agency. Their emotionally charged reunion, observed by Brenda's secretary Miss Barling, ends with Brenda clandestinely slipping some money into Richard's overcoat, a gesture of kindness she conceals to spare him any embarrassment. However, tragedy strikes when Brenda falls prey to the Necktie Murderer. The assailant is none other than Richard's friend, Bob Rusk, who perpetrates the horrific crime, leaving Brenda's lifeless body as a distressing discovery. Richard, unaware of Brenda's fate, stumbles upon the hidden money and decides to treat his girlfriend, Babs Milligan, to an indulgent stay at an upscale hotel. This innocent act, however, coincides with Miss Barling's grim discovery of Brenda's body, and Richard is seen leaving the scene of the crime. As the evidence mounts against him, Richard is catapulted into the role of prime suspect. The situation worsens when Babs becomes the Necktie Murderer’s next victim, with Bob masterfully framing Richard for the crime. Arrested and sentenced for a string of murders he didn't commit, Richard's world collapses. Yet, amidst the chaos and condemnation, doubt begins to gnaw at Chief Inspector Oxford, the seasoned detective leading the investigation. As Richard struggles to prove his innocence, a question lingers - has justice been truly served, or is the real killer still at large? Wrapped in suspense, 'Frenzy' is a riveting journey into a heart of darkness, where truth and deception intertwine in a deadly dance.
