A murderous bank robber vows to kill those he holds responsible for ensuring he is executed for killing a guard while committing the crime, and soon after his execution his threats begin to be realized. It falls to Scotland Yard’s Chief Inspector Long (Joachim Fuchsberger) to put an end to these murders by figuring out what is really going on — assuming it isn’t in fact a ghost. An atmospheric and twisty adaptation of an Edgar Wallace work, the movie, originally titled Die Bande des Schreckens, also features an appearance by Krimi regular Karin Dor and also by Eddi Arent.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 476 for 2021.
