Der Henker von London / The Mad Executioners (1963) DVD5
on January 3rd, 2017 at 10:17
The film spins a mystery around a sinister cabal that holds its own kangaroo court in the bowels of London. Con artists, murderers, and thieves find themselves inexplicably abducted, tried, and judged before being sentenced to a swift death by hanging, their limp, dangling bodies left in conspicuous places. Scotland Yard — particularly lead investigator John Hillier (Hansjorg Felmy) — is baffled and frustrated, especially since the group manages to steal the exact same historical rope for its noose every time it holds court. Dissention grows in its ranks as it becomes likely that someone on the inside is aiding and abetting this rogue group of executioners. Hillier also must contend with a serial killer who decapitates his female victims.
