10 RILLINGTON PLACE T-SHIRT

A classic movie t-shirt available in black cotton.

Bleak, harrowing, and unforgettable — 10 Rillington Place (1971) is one of the most disturbing films in British cinema. Based on the real-life crimes of John Christie, the serial killer who murdered women in post-war London, the film offers a stark and unflinching portrait of evil lurking behind ordinary doors.

Richard Attenborough delivers a chilling performance as Christie, the mild-mannered neighbour whose polite exterior masks monstrous violence. Opposite him, John Hurt plays Timothy Evans, the hapless tenant wrongly accused and executed for one of Christie’s murders. The film’s power lies not only in its quiet horror, but in its stark reminder of a justice system that hanged an innocent man — a miscarriage of justice that helped push Britain towards the abolition of the death penalty.

“The banality of evil never looked so ordinary.” – Film critic

Shot in grim detail, 10 Rillington Place isn’t a sensationalist thriller. It’s an exercise in unease: peeling wallpaper, gas-lit rooms, and the banality of cruelty. The ordinariness of the setting — a shabby West London terrace — makes it all the more terrifying.

The 10 Rillington Place T-Shirt pays tribute to this classic of British cinema. More than a true-crime retelling, the film is a piece of cultural history, blending chilling performances with the legacy of one of Britain’s darkest cases.

Perfect for cult film fans, true crime enthusiasts, and admirers of British cinema at its most uncompromising.
