"13/05/2013 Häpeäksi tunnustan, etten kirjaa ole lukenut, vaikka niin on pitänyt olla tapahtuva jo pidemmän aikaa. Capoten oma tutkielma veriteon taustalla on huikean hieno ja lähdemateriaali nimellisesti tunnettuna on tapahtumasarjan filmatisointi kertakaikkisen upea. Hyytävä tunnelma loppuun asti ja pedon syntyminen on kaunista katseltavaa."

"Truman Capote wrote a book about a tragedy in which four people got killed. This book carries the same name as Richard Brooks' film, In Cold Blood. This tragedy is shown by the eyes of murderers Perry and Dick. In the end it was surprising to see how sympathies were given to cold blooded killers. This movie shows that despite their horrible act, they're human. In "

"The Hanging Scene And I literally mean the last 8 seconds of the movie. "In Cold Blood" is a great, great movie, and it has one of the simplest, best endings ever. No matter how much I liked the all film, when I think about it, the first thing coming in my mind is Perry's corpse hanging, bouncing 3 times, the 1st time being filmed from the side, the 2nd time in a frontal shot, the 3rd time, still on that frontal shot, but on the fade-out; no-music or anything...that was a brave, strong, cold, e"

" Nice to see that Colombia Pictures is capable of restoring some of their classic films. So, this was a visual delight. The film still holds up extremely well. However, if your expecting an early version of "Natural Born Killers" your going to be disappointed. Less action and more artistic unfolding of a senseless crime."

“Truman Capote's chilling account of a true story wherein two drifters murder a family has been dramatized many times. But this 1967 version still remains the best to date. I will admit that this film was more powerful than any other thrillers I have ever seen. This film comes with the level of Hitchcock classics and Silence of the Lambs. It's not just chilling, but also incredibly realistic. Conard Hall's Black and White Cinematography gave a stunning look to the film. Brooks direction and a smart screenplay takes us directly inside the minds of the criminals who pulled the trigger.
