Our view:
While this isn’t a Rialto or CCC manufacturing, Nylon Noose nonetheless options lots of the entertaining tropes related to Krimi thrillers.
This mish-mash entails a tantalising nightclub act, flirtatious and illicit relationships, intrigue, greed, diaphanous nighties, overheard conversations by way of air vents, dodgily-acquired diamonds, a mad physician, a hideous servant with a burnt face (Adi Berber), catacombs and even bizarre-looking mummies brought on by the “unusual substance within the air of this area”. What’s extra, there’s a black-gloved serial killer who calls for massive sums of cash from would-be well-to-do victims!
In contrast to the ancestral piles in most Krimi movies, Elford Manor – the place many of the film is about – truly appears architecturally English. That mentioned, later temporary photographs outdoors a nightclub are clearly in Germany with no try and make the facades British. General, manufacturing values are barely shoddy and Rudolf Zehetgruber’s route is quite flat, displaying not one of the stylishness that characterised the work of Krimi regulars Harald Reinl and Alfred Vohrer. The seemingly requisite comedic content material is provided by Masters, the inspector’s assistant.
Regardless of not being a top-notch Krimi, Nylon Noose is healthier than the weakest entries within the German thriller thriller sub-genre and positively price a search for followers. Adrian J Smith, MOVIES and MANIA
Different evaluations:
” …it’s fairly normal concern […] The serial killer offers the horror content material, although a “mad scientist” sort character appears to play a job in it as properly, and Ady Berber is at all times good for a glowering scare or two.” Improbable Film Musings and Ramblings
“That is an entertaining early krimi. Though not formally a part of the Edgar Wallace sequence, it positively has all of the earmarks. The inspector shyly courts the main girl, there’s a comic-relief assistant […] It has a creepy facet, too, with the monstrous-looking heavy from Lifeless Eyes of London creeping across the caves underneath the mansion.” Goblin Haired Man
