hrebing
O.K this is a movie I watched when I lived in Germany in the early seventies.....ever had that movie stick in your mind but can't think of the name??...well this has bugged me for 30 years.I think the reason I remember it is it must have scared the hell out of me.I was only like 8 or nine years old
I think it may be a French movie.....here is what I remember.
The story revolves around a police detective who is investigating a series of brutal murders.(I think they were ax murders.)Anyhow it seems that the murders are similar to some that happened years before.However the one who committed these murders is locked up in this Castle like fortress prison and there is no way this guy could be the one.
Well it turns out it is the same guy and he has a tricky way of getting out of his cell at night.I can't remember all of it but I do remember that he has a clock in his cell ...one of those with a pendelum....he has a cell door with a food hatch on the bottom...what he has is a key at the end of the pendelum which he reaches through the food hatch in the door and swings the pedelum until it turns the lock.
I'm sure there is a lot more involved ect.So then he goes out and kills people with an ax and sneaks back into the prison..these people he is killing may have something to do with the previous murders,or are the reason he got caught(I'm not sure on the connection)..this detective gets wise and tries to catch him.....now that I think of it it may be his mother the prisioner is about to hack up...anyway...at the end he does the deed and there is this big race between the detective and the prisoner to get back to the prison first.....the detective makes it back is rushing to the guy's cell and opens the door and there is the prisoner........well it looks like the guy is going to get away with it and just as the detective is leaving a parrot type bird sticks it's head out of the prisoners coat pocket hanging on the rack...it seems the lady(mother?) he killed had this bird in a cage and during the struggle of axing her the bird gets out and slips into the guy's pocket....it ends with the guy laughing this evil laugh....
Well there you have it....it's been imprinted in my brain for years now and I have no clue what the name is or if it's a foreign film....if anyone has heard of this let me know....if not mabey I should write the screenplay for an updated version.....Thanks alot
