RAVE - Red Riding Trilogy, 1983

The third in the trilogy of films covering the UK's most prolific serial killer, The Yorkshire Ripper.

This story features some of the nastiest and crookedest cops you could imagine, some of the biggest twists, some of the most depressing characters to poison any plot.

I know it's a cliche, but if you'd made this story up, no-one would believe it.

I also know I'm in danger of trivializing the whole thing by wondering how crimes were ever solved without computers, how teams that traveled across the country ever achieved anything without cell-phones, and how anyone survived when everyone smoked all the time in every location.
