The Manipulator / BJ Lang Presents / USA / 1971

Deeply disturbing seventies oddity starring Mickey Rooney. Rooney is at his scenery chewing best/worst here as the demented director who’s lost it all trying to relive his Hollywood heyday through a kidnapped girl. The Manipulator is quintessential disturbing cinema to the point of being painful to watch for the majority of its running time. Rooney plays his madness all-too convincingly for comfort making even the smallest phrases and glances seem menacing. Will leave you uneasy for a while after viewing but an absolute must for fans of seventies curiosities.
