살인광 (1961)
Homicidal
다른 사람으로 사칭해 살인을 저지른 의문의 여자를 중심으로 하여 막대한 유산을 상속받을 예정인 남자, 그리고 그의 배다른 형제가 뒤얽혀 묘한 긴장감을 이루는 미스테리 스릴러물. 영화의 시작부터 살인을 저지르는 여자를 통해 그녀의 정체와 살인동기를 궁금하게 만들고, 인물들의 관계와 그들의 대사를 통해 촘촘하게 복선과 암시를 배치하는 탄탄한 짜임새가 극의 긴장감을 더욱 고조시킨다

Homicidal is a 1961 American horror-thriller film produced and directed by William Castle, and starring Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin, Eugenie Leontovich, Alan Bunce and Jean Arless. The film follows a murderous woman in a small California town whose presence unearths secrets concerning a prominent local family.
Production
After fifteen years directing a string of B movies for Columbia, Universal, and Monogram, William Castle mortgaged his house and formed William Castle Productions in 1958. His first release, Macabre, was a modest thriller. To draw attention to the film, he offered every audience member a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd's of London against death by fright during the film.
Actress Joan Marshall was cast in the dual role of Emily/Warren, credited under the stage name Jean Arless. This led some publications to erroneously assume the part was her first credit. Originally, Castle had intended to cast two different actors for the roles of Emily and Warren.
Principal photography for Homicidal began on November 1, 1960, in Ventura and Solvang, California. For her scenes playing Warren, star Marshall had her hair cut like a man's and dyed brown, wore brown contact lenses and had prosthetic appliances made to alter the shape of her nose, mouth and hands.
