The Fool Killer
This singularly off-beat and original period mystery thriller drama curio set in the late 1800’s plays like an arrestingly bizarre and inspired cross between “Tom Sawyer” and “Night of the Hunter.” Lonely, miserable orphan boy George (a then 12-years-old Edward Albert in his excellent film debut) runs away from his stern, sadistic, abusive foster parents.
