Perhaps Slaughter's Best
by Michael_Elliott2017-10-05

"The Crimes of Stephen Hawke (1936) ** 1/2 (out of 4) London is under a crippling terror as people are being crushed to death by a man known as The Spinebreaker (Tod Slaughter). THE CRIMES OF STEPHEN HAWKE starts out unlike any other movie that I can remember. It starts off at a radio station where we basically get a radio broadcast for the first seven or eight minutes and then we finally get to the main story. In a rather shocking manor, it starts off with a child being murdered. This here was the third film Slaughter made following THE MURDER IN THE RED BARN and THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET..."
