Absolutely perfect! What I've come to expect (and receive) from British productions. Great choice in actors who were marvelous. The ending was NOT what I expected which added to the perfection.
That was great. I think it can be very difficult to bring Ruth Rendell's psychological studies of human nature to the screen. She delves deeply into what evil can lurk behind the ordinary and always did a wonderful job of bringing so many character studies together to form a multi-leveled novel quality mystery story. This was perfectly done and a great success. She is my favorite mystery writer. I'm on a long term and totally disorganized project of trying to read all her books. I've actually read her first.
Luke Treadaway. He won a Lawrence Olivier Award for best actor in 2013 for his performance in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time". His seventh Olivier. Very good actor indeed!
Classic Ruth Rendell, with themes of psychopathy, obsession and the superficiality of celeb culture. A particularly nasty twist was Darren’s heartlessness. Darren turned out as much a disappointment to Nerissa as Steven had been to Gwendolen. Geraldine James’s portrayal of prickly Gwendolen was outstanding, so convincing, and Luke Treadaway was chillingly authentic as well.
Good Picture by watching this we can learn what will be happen in our surroundings, and it's also makes us alert. Thanks waiting for the next update flim.
Some parts are great but some parts beggars to be believed. I can’t believe the “model” did not take the opportunity to run out of the house, when he asked her to make him a cup of coffee.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yes, and the blonde girl's body would have been stiff with rigor mortis after being under the floor for long enough to stink, as the landlady commented on the bad smell in that room. And the girl's body was wrapped in a bed sheet and polythene - there was no loose hand to be dug up by the police. Small things but careless in this film whereas Ruth Rendell in her books was precise and attentive to detail.
Yes, but she had told her father she kind of hoped her stalker would bother her again so she would have an excuse to call that neighbor guy to come and help her. She had no idea how truly dangers he was.
@@MrWindermere123 Rigor mortis only lasts a short time, to do with myosin in the muscles , but definitely the hand would not look in good condition after that length of time.
Oh come on. She actually let's in the guy she knows is stalking her? Seriously? She's a celeb model with loads of money: no alarm system, no cctv intercom, not even a door peephole; no personal alarm; no report to the police to try and get an injunction at least For a celeb model she's very passive.
@@saadamjad5436 I couldn’t help but read the first comment . It was right there below the first showing of the movie, as always happens. Before you can enlarge the movie to full screen. Not really important.
What an amazing acting job young Luke Treadaway did as sociopath. His OCD apartment was an instant clue. The scrapbook was the clincher he was a total nut case. Excellent movie, excellent author.
I have to say that was absolutely incredible, if anyone ever deserves a whole life tariff . . Fantastic acting , good casting and well directed. Bravo.
Excellent flick with spot-on acting. Scary & creepy brilliance. Parents who abuse & torture their kids breed serial killers, that is fact. Mix was a tortured human being & the cycle of violence was how he coped. Tragic.
@@carolineherzog9254 It's an inaccurate generalization, mostly to feel they "understand" such cruelty; much worse, used as an excuse. There are plenty violent ones that had a normal childhood. Sociopathy is like cancer - part environmental, part choice of lifestyle, and a tiny part hormonal/dna, which in turn are interdependent.
the blonde girl is so pretty..sad how her character takes no notice that he his not really interested in her... and when he says "shut up, she's perfect"( about the model) i think that was the sign for her to leave... my god and the date gets worse and worse...unbelievable that she does not leave !
Absolutely excellent! A study of obsession, madness and the perils of being an elderly person in a young person's world. A story that could only have come from the imagination of a writer like Ms Rendell and the adaptation was clever and masterly. This is real, on the edge of the seat television. Beautiful acting, gripping dialogue. I was totally hooked from start to finish. A real nine point five marks out of ten.....
He is a great actor! He's also in a series called "Penny Dreadful" with really great cast with big names. (I almost fell in love with him because of that role 🤦🙃) Look it up, i don't want to spoil it... It's fantastic!!! 🌋✴️🤯 In every meaning of that word!!!💗
@@tabithadickson36 You're right, they're twins, but I looked them up on "Wikipedia," & casting credits for "13 Steps . . " & "A Street cat . . . ," & Luke Treadaway was cited as the lead actor in both. Nice to hear from you though. Sorry. Kind regards. :-) , :-) , :-) .
O dear , it was so good ! I had to stop watching it , until the next night ! so creepy , so well put together !! great cast ! Nightmares tonight then !!
Why would a girl sleep with a guy obsessed with a serial killer.? On a first date? Makes no sense. PItty, usually Ruth Rendell mysteries are great. This one, not so much. I tried to watch it till the end, but gave up in the end.
The girl didn't know how serious his obsession was, it seems to me- and she was obviously vulnerable with low self-esteem. there are a lt of girls like her- especially those without fathers, sad to say.
He told her he was a student of criminology. She took him to her place. She did not realize his obsession until she went to his place. Of course, having sex with a complete stranger is risky.
@@carolannemckenzie3849 oh yes ! Her Barbara Vine books are very good. I really enjoyed "A dark adapted eye" in my opinion quite excellent and unputdownable. And from a charity shop! 😊
Great movie! Little side note...i live in Tennessee, USA. On the back of his red jacket with the white sleeves it says Lexington KY. I have a sister who lives there and it is about 4 hours from where I live.
Delusion, illusion, wishful thinking...he acted on his, the old lady failed to act (get married) because of hers. Superbly played by the young guy. The asylum killer popping up here and there added an even creepier edge. Well done.
I read the book recently and could tell there were parallels between the two main characters. Your first sentence perfectly describes what they had in common.
Phew! Wow! Ooooh! Well done. Not going to forget this one any time soon. Maybe I shouldn't have watched it just before bedtime?
I wish I would not have watched it at all.
Luke Treadaway did an excellent job. Creepy comvincing.
Wow! What a thriller! Kept me on the edge of my seat. Wonderful actors and acting.
Not bad. A little on the strange bizarre side. Compared to most free youtube movies, it deserves an oscar.
Only a few mins into this and already glued to it..thank you MC 🇬🇧

which was her 1st novel?? And yes I agree with you on all counts
Her first book was to Doon with death .
Yes she won the golden dagger .
I read them all. Even those she wrote under the pseudonym of Barbara Vine, I mean except those with Inspector Wexford.
The keys to the street is another brilliant one
British screenwriting and acting at its finest.
Marvellous entertainment. Ruth Rendell was a gifted storyteller ☮️
Both Mix and Ms Chawcer's unrequited love. Good drama. Thanks for downloading.
... I think you mean, thanks for UPloading! 🙂
Amazing movie. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you for airing. 😊🇨🇦
Scary and creepy but well structured and kept up the pace. Good acting by Cellini.
So good that I felt physically sick!
This film is beyond BRILLIANT...They all gave award winning performances.... Ten Stars...!!!
Luke Treadaway did a fantastic job, I was convinced he was koo koo nuts
Brilliant! Thanks so much for the upload. Best thing I've managed to find on UA-cam for ages.
Grizzly and frightening. Glorious performance by Luke Treadway! Seen him in other excellent roles as well.
Wow - the gentle sting in the tail... Rendell never ceases to amaze with her characterisations.... Top show!
Excellent murder mystery. Very engrossing; good story and terrific acting. Each one was perfect for the part. Highly recommend it.
I'm back for my second veiw one year later. Fantastic movie. RE~WATCHABLE!
Great actors. Even the three girlfriends delivered a fantastic performance.
No spouses in Western culture, only passing "girlfriends".
The dude was a great actor 👍.Thank you for loading this 🎥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Luke Treadaway. He won a Lawrence Olivier Award for best actor in 2013 for his performance in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time". His seventh Olivier. Very good actor indeed!

Ruth Rendell always so good. Excellent acting and a great story. Thank you
Great stuff! all the actors played their parts soo well. Edge of the seat and the best thing I've seen in a good while.
The best Ruth Rendell movie I've seen! Excellent suspense throughout and the end with the illegal immigrant just showing up added extra!
Excellent film. Excellent acting - all around! Luke T. is such an excellent actor!

I know it kinda ruined the movie it was so stupid.

Well, talk about spoiler alert! I’ll watch the movie anyway. So many movies show people not being sensible, in ways you describe. It is irksome.
And she's not even pretty

Second time around watching this thriller it’s incredible good quality creepy full of suspense and great acting love it
Brilliant flick,great actors was totally enthralled after 10 minutes I knew the movie was going to be a ripper!
Compelling performances, even though grim subject matter...well worth a watch.
I love British movies and have always loved the accent since childhood. Great movie!
Film lol
Excellent . Both obsessed in their own way with the unattainable .
NOT a mystery. This is a psychological drama! Please learn the difference.
Absolutely creepy and well done. Thank you M.C.
For someone who studies serial killers, he certainly was an idiot about disposing of bodies.
What a good movie. Really enjoyed it. The Brit's always know how to tell a good story.
Beautiful... I love Ruth Rendell.
What an amazing acting job young Luke Treadaway did as sociopath. His OCD apartment was an instant clue. The scrapbook was the clincher he was a total nut case. Excellent movie, excellent author.
I like him to but did you notice that he got wet armpit 😱😝🤣🤣🤣
Check him out in Mr. Mercedes on Peacock TV. He does an excellent job of playing a sociopath.
i think the scrapbook was the clincher
@@seekers3916 😆😆😂
Only in fiction and crime dramas is OCD an "instant clue."
Wow, this was intense. 👏👏Thank you for sharing. 😊
Luke Treadaway’s performance is remarkable. Disturbing. Such a sadness portrayed.

The exact moment Mix realised she had to die.

Really getting inside the head of a psycho. Areal cliffhanger. The Brits are quite good with this genre.

We're good at everything! :-)
Though, to be honest, sometimes the Yanks beat us at Westerns...
@@robwilde855 Britain is too small to have a West, lol. But there is no doubt your mystery series and films are superior, with a few exceptions.
Not even his house!!
thanks for such a suspenseful movie.
simply superb. how a person get influenced by parental care? must watch by all to be parents.
I read the book ages ago, didn't know they made a movie !!
This is a highly intense, thought-provoking movie on so many levels!

this is my favourite Ruth Rendell story the book is a brilliant, dark read 😘
Excellent acting. Well done.
This is brilliantly done. Perfect for Halloween - or any Ween - in creepiness. The adapters have out-Rendelled Rendell
Haha great comment 😊
It is worth the watch for sure!
Superb! I enjoyed every minute of this thriller. I am now a fan of Ruth Rendell. 👏👏👏
I recommend her novel A Sight for Sore Eyes, one of her best.
Yes, Ruth Rendell was a wonderful writer and also wrote under the nom de plume of Barbara Vine. They are often available cheaply in charity shops 😁
@@carolannemckenzie3849 oh yes ! Her Barbara Vine books are very good. I really enjoyed "A dark adapted eye" in my opinion quite excellent and unputdownable.

Great Movie! Thank You for the upload. This guy`s a total psychopath, great acting.
Good one. Very beautifully cast and filmed. Spooooky.
I love the fact he killed the already dead landlady and then buried her. If he'd have just pretended she died in her sleep...
A story of too much obsession with someone could be dangerous!
Oh my days 😱😱😱😱 so creepy feel quite sick but I want know what happens he so creepy 😬 puts off sharing house with someone
*Literally 1% will see this but God bless you and stay safe during these hard times p.s im close to 60K🐐*
