A man named Salem escapes from an insane asylum where he was confined for an axe-murder. Falsely convicted under a plea of "guilty due to insanity", he does not plan to let his sister and her husband forget that they were responsible for the murder of a farmhand and for his cruel imprisonment in the asylum.
伯格曼电影里的演员。字幕像是机翻。越狱的时候最好玩，回来的时候最紧张。和我初中从家里面溜出去买漫画一样。
伯格曼的两位御用所呈现的希区柯克式悬疑片。情节经不起推敲，但整体仍算出彩，丽芙·乌曼难得扮演这样一个自私残忍、胆小偷生的恶女角色，可惜戏份有限，最出彩的当属马克斯·冯·叙多夫的复仇者形象，受害者转为杀人狂。
完全被埋没的一部悬疑惊悚片，完美的越狱复仇计划却被一只鸟搞砸了！惊叹主角过人的体格耐力的同时也替古人担忧、惋惜！
構思巧妙，情理不通。
虽然剧情上有些bug，但叙多夫在大雪天只穿一件背心和一条短裤越狱杀人的故事实在太刺激，而悬念也一直持续到影片最后一秒
