Paul Decker murders his wife in her Italian villa by drugging her milk and asphyxiating her by gas. He cleverly locks the bedroom from the inside and hides inside a trapdoor in the floor until after the body is discovered by servants. He uses a scuba snorkel connected to tubes on the outside to breathe during the ordeal. Decker's stepdaughter Candy suspects him immediately, especially since no suicide note was found. She also is convinced that he murdered her father years before, but her accusations fall on deaf ears. The ruthless Decker even poisons the family spaniel when the pet takes too great an interest in the mask and realizes he will ultimately have to get rid of Candy too.
Leave your thoughts about The Snorkel.
| User ReviewKevin NClever Hammer film that gets started right away, a man murders his wife by turning on the gas in her room while she's asleep and he's underneath the floor with a snorkel. Of course, the police are convinced it's a suicide but the daughter is certain it was murder. It's got some clever moments and the ending is good, but with such a simple concept it's tough to make it into a full length movie and be excellent. |
| User Reviewmonsieur rGood suspense drama involves a stepfather that kills not only a father but the mother of the daughter. Then, to top it off, he tries to kill the daughter (the one that has him figured out but is ignored by everyone). One of the Hammer collection, the so-called "icons of suspense collection" written on the dvd cover jacket. The title makes one thinks this is about scuba diving, but its not remotely related to water (at least at first). Watch the first few minutes of the film to see what I mean. Set on the Italian coast. This one is worth seeing. In black and white 1958, the unraveling of the murder for us involves no less than the daughter's dog, Toto. The daughter isn't believed by anyone that her stepfather could be the murder. The Italian police write off everything as a suicide. Peter van Eyck does a tremendous job as the stepfather and serial killer. The young teen daughter, Candice or Candy, is not the best actress in this suspense yarn. I can recommend this film but it could be hard to find. |
| User ReviewBrody MDead solid suspense film from the Hammer studios that thanks to a tight story and great acting, it will drive you nuts while you watch it play out. |
| User ReviewNeil OPrototype Hammer mini-Hitchcock written by Jimmy Sangster plays a bit like an early Columbo and tells the story of a young girl who can´t convince anyone that her stepfather is a murderer. Jack Asher lensed this interesting little Hammer thriller in glorious black and white and it's well worth a watch. |
| User ReviewMichael TFirst-rate Hammer film directed with style by Guy Green. |
| User ReviewMike MThis was creepy. It got kind of ridiculous though that no one would be suspicious of the dude killing everyone to the point of assuming the eyewitness is a nutcase. |
