Ok..maybe Jerry is the crazy guy that use this little girl to find the psycho killer. But let just say if Jerry doesn't know this girl at all,it could be worse,theres a big possibility tht this little girl might be the next victim tho
@MochaeMoepfli On the contrary, Jack Nicholson said in an interview for the film that he thought Jerry was a the definition of 'The rod to hell is paved with good intentions'. He uses the daughter to lure his prey in, ruining his chance of a normal, happy life. Even though The Wizard was real, he acted selfishly to prove himself right.
the pledge is based upon the film (Es geschah am hellichten Tag) from Friedrich Dürrenmatt. This movie was made in Switzerland in the late 1950s and is far more scary and frightening than the pledge. I live in Switzerland and the film was made in the area where I live so after having seen this movie or I should rather say horrorfilm I couldn't sleep for months because it was that shocking, blood freezing and terrible for me.
Yeah, I was...No, I had no idea who he even was! I had no idea he was famous. My parents told me about him after because they didn't want to make me nervous.
Jerry would of nailed that guy..he was right.

I saw the German movie and the end is different. I'm a bit surprised that Fritz Lang allowed it to happen. I still don't know which one I prefer.
But it's a bit shocking that nobody in the movie thinks the protagonists actions are morally despicable.
