10 Rillington Place

Richard Attenborough stars as the infamous English serial killer John Reginald Christie who killed eight women over a period of 13 years in this drama. After moving in as tenants in Christie's house in 10 Rillington Place, Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife Beryl (Judy Geeson) go to their landlord for help in obtaining an abortion. Christie agrees to do what he can, and uses this as an opportunity to murder Beryl, adding one more victim to an already lengthy list.

When the frightened Timothy is then blamed for the crime, and found guilty in a court of law, Christie is able to continue killing undetected.
