Urge to Kill is a 1960 British second feature[1] serial killer film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Patrick Barr, Ruth Dunning and Terence Knapp.

Hughie lives in the lodging house run by his aunt, along with a selection of boarders including a kindly elderly gent with a penchant for Bible-bashing and a smooth-talking ladies' man.

Believing the police are failing to do their job properly, they start issuing death threats against him after gathering in the pub to discuss the case, and the front window of the lodging house is put through by a large rock.

"[3] Kine Weekly wrote: "The script eschews subtlety, but cast and director play upturned aces and court cards skilfully and temper suspense with human interest.

...Howard Pays registers as the schizophrenic Ramskill ; Terence Knapp excrcises restraint as the jibbering, though harmless, Hughie; Ruth Dunning has her moments as Auntie B; and Patrick Barr is most professional as Allen.
