Schizo
A recently-married woman who has been labeled as mentally unstable, begins to suspect that someone close to her is the culprit in a sudden string of murders.
Why it matters
A grim, early British slasher that blends psychological paranoia with stalking dread in pre-Halloween territory.
- Captures the grimy, shadowed London streetscape with a creeping claustrophobia rare in ’70s slashers.
- Winsome Lynne Frederick anchors the film with vulnerability that sells both her skating background and mounting terror.
- A proto-slasher ahead of its time, it riffs on obsession and mental instability before those became genre staples.
- Fans of vintage slasher history and British horror’s moodier corners will appreciate its mix of atmosphere and uneasy suspense.
