The ultimate Master of Gimmicks, Director Willam Castle (13 Ghosts [1960]) first paid homage to his idol Alfred Hitchcock with Homicidal [1961] with another marketing ploy that tested the audiences’ courage, however with the Strait Jacket his approach was to make a horror psychological film without his standard flair.

Every Friday the 13th fan and Jason Voorhees fanatic knows of this film’s reputation, and the film itself, with countless reviews, therefore I am not going to dwell too long on the story as there’s some other points much more interesting to discover.
