What gave him the motive to murder?
Critical Perspective
-
Urge to Kill is an embarrassing but entertaining Merton Park pot noodle of a shoot, chucked into production for a quota support slot. … The sets are often basic and the film is talkative, with the camera confined to a small number of unimaginative shots as if recording an early television play. The exteriors are more moodily captured, though the film’s chills are dependent on the details of the murders: the time spent cutting the victims, carried as a threat to all potential victims. Running a brief 56 minutes … it at least avoids becoming dull. Its half-time switch from murder mystery into psycho study also helps.
