Stunningly tense, dark, and disturbing for a '60s film. Worthy of comparison with other lurid, yet artfully directed classic thrillers of the era like "Psycho" and "In Cold Blood". Robert Mitchum's Max Cady is one of the most terrifying, creepy, and barbaric stalkers in film history, even more brutal than his unforgettable Harry Powell in "Night of the Hunter".
