| NIGHT
OF THE STRANGLER
This early 70’s Southern race issue drama/hippie
exploitation murder mystery is most notable for
it’s star, Monkees’ drummer Micky
Dolenz!
The story revolves around an interracial couple’s
murder and the two brothers who blame each other
for the crime. As the film progresses, more deaths
happen around the brothers as they continue to
accuse one another. Dolenz plays the seemingly
good brother amongst a cast of New Orleans’s
locals, one of whom, Harold Sylvester, went on
to work on the TV show Married With Children.
Filmed in 70’s subtly psychedelic colors,
the films tries to tackle social issues of the
day but ends up delivering a standard exploitation
film with a novelty star.
Strangely, the film features many, many murders,
but none of them by strangulation!
