i can see that the rating for this film aren not all that high for this film and so i must be in the minority for like this film so much . well and i be right and everyone else be wrong ( just kid ) . i guess i like it because i be a psychology teacher and i really like the brooding character play by ryan . while he truly be dangerous as well a very menace and you can not exactly hate him because he be clearly mentally ill and probably suffer from some sort of brain trauma . and wow do ryan do a really good job portray this man . you really find yourself feel for ida lupino a he destroy her life . so with such intense acting and menace and why be the movie rat relatively low . well and probably because it isn not exactly believable and . but boy be it entertain and creative . give it a try and do not believe the score of 6 . 4 it a lot good than that .
