Viewing Notes

This scummy exploitation film is best when it’s not focusing on the bumbling cops or the uncomfortable attack scenes but instead on the killer himself. Nicholas Worth musters up an outstanding performance as the mentally unstable killer who, of course, is a Vietnam vet with mommy issues. Better than expected but requires strong fortitude in the face of awful misogyny.
