The hangman's ready

Truman Capote's In Cold Blood is one of the landmark books of the 20th century, and this 1967 film by Richard Brooks is an excellent adaptation. In a story based on true events, two ex-convicts ruthlessly murder an entire family during a robbery. Simply because they can't leave any witnesses. As if destroying human lives were child's play. A very disturbed and haunting world of thought. You can get chills from the movie too.
