Watch Deadly Strangers For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Simon Ward and Hayley Mills are both outstanding in this one. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while... I've seen this one years ago and forgotten about it and forgot what happens - I only remember seeing it once upon a time. I can say I am impressed and will want to watch this one again.An escapee has left the mental institution. Belle has just missed her train, wants to get back home and catches a ride with a crazy trucker but she manages to get away from him and is stranded on the road. Stephen had seen her earlier at the tavern where she left with the man, recognized her and gave her a lift. From that point on, we can see the strange behavior of Stephen. Even Belle had her strange ways that explained her stand-off behavior yet seemed to have an odd trust in Stephen. Belle seems to kinda like Stephen, she even helps him out a time or two. During flashbacks we can see Belle's past and Stephen's past... it helps to explain their behavior. They end up going more places together than where Belle wanted to go in the first place. At one point, Belle ends up with another strange man that picks her up after a mix-up with Stephen but Belle and Stephen end up back together. Belle and Stephen really seemed like a match made in Heaven until the very end.9.5/10

British road thriller about an escaped maniac on the loose, having escaped from an insane asylum and killed a nurse. DEADLY STRANGERS follows two young adults, both with their own psychological hang-ups, Belle Adams(Hayley Mills), visiting her old childhood home, Stephen Slade(Simon Ward; FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED), a farm-equipment salesman..could one of these two actually be the the lunatic on the lam? Sidney Hayers may be best known for directing the cult favorite NIGHT OF THE EAGLE(BURN, WITCH, BURN!)and he keeps our interest by creating doubt for both characters we follow until the very end when the great revelation tells us the answer to that great mystery of who it is that broke free from Greenwood Mental Hospital. Slade is a sexual deviant who likes to peep on girls while they are undressing and we are privy to flashback memories as Stephen has uncomfortable developments with a lady love who finds bondage magazines, wondering why he seems impotent with her in bed. Belle lost her parents to a car crash, having to live with a sleazy, pedophile uncle who bursts in on her while she is bathing, attempting later to rape her, paying the consequences for his actions. Hayers has the difficult task of keeping us gripped by two people traveling by car through the British countryside, by including motorcycle bullies who try to rile up Slade, once in a diner, then later on the road by blocking him so he can not pass them..the result, a crash which offers the possibility that the rider was killed. Also interrupting their journey is an old American eccentric(portrayed with enthusiasm and gusto by Sterling Hayden, dressed as an aristocrat) with charm to spare and vocabulary to spark conversation which captures Belle's attention and cooperation(she has to ride, walk, and dine with him so he has to serve up something to get her to accompany him). Something Hayden reads in the newspaper motivates him to try to catch up with Slade, later to be elaborated when a policeman sees the same front page article(he pulled Slade over for a broken head light). The movie often immerses us into the lurid pasts of both leads and most of the characters Mills comes in contact with want to jump her bones. This will probably be most notorious for featuring Mills(of POLLYANNA & PARENT TRAP fame)in not only a bra and panties, but naked as well(not for very long, but just her breasts and ass is startling when you know her from the Disney success). While the subject matter can be a bit sordid, its not as violent(or as sleazy) as it could've been. The reveal I don't imagine will surprise anybody..

Good movie plots remain with me. This is a movie I'd seen as a child and am lucky to find it here. It's a plot I've never forgotten and has quite a twist at the end. The only actor I remembered was Simon Ward. The acting was fine and, like so many of the British movies I've seen, nothing is overdone. No unnecessary violence and things blowing up for the sake of a boom. They don't write enough movies like this one. Other moves like this one is Vanishing Act with Elliot Gould, Silent Partner with Elliot Gould, and Sudden Fury (a very little known Canadian movie which should not be confused with the idiotic action film of the same name).If you're the kind of movie fan who hates predictable movies then this movie is for you.

Young British man offers stranded, pretty girl a lift--but is he the psychopathic killer all the police are searching for? Damp, chilly film from the UK does boast a stylish direction (the rolling compact, the chase in the parking structure) and fine performances from the principals, particularly Hayley Mills in what must have been just a quick movie-stop on her busy theatrical schedule of the 1970s. Mills isn't flatteringly photographed here, but she's a natural, never winking at the camera for affect and never adding more to a scene than is needed. Nerve-jangling yarn will probably surprise you with its twists. It has a compact screenplay and is well paced. **1/2 from ****
