It can be crass, but there is merit in this movie's sense of time and place.

Rated: 3/5

... achieves the unusual feat of being nasty - and boring.

The Hollywood Reporter

A robust, atmospheric suspense thriller that shows how politics and personal ambition can have a toxic effect on justice.

Trebuchet

As the killer (a very good Károly Hajduk) stalks his victims, the shots are stylised and would not feel out of place in a slasher movie.

One Room With A View

A topsy-turvy mystery and some arresting visuals in a narrative that doesn't pull any punches make Strangled well worth the watch - just make sure you're in the right mood for it.

Rated: 4/5

Authentic looking 50s true story of Hungarian serial rapist. First half hour is very violent and graphic. It gets more interesting after that. Pacing, Cinematography, Lighting and acting well done. Probably the best part of the movie is the skill of the director, small town Hungary, and the primitive soviet-era buildings. I would not seek this movie out. But it was enjoyable. Interested to see what the director will do next.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Strangled possède surement Une histoire intéressante sur papier , et ce en dépit de personnages peu développés et de scènes de sexe gratuites et inutiles, mais qui malheureusement est une adaptation (basé sur une histoire vraie) très décevante, voir ennuyante

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
