Viewing Notes

Didn’t realize until now that I have this flick on VHS and I have the big box (as Invisible Strangler) sitting upright on the stand next to me! Was planning to view the VHS soon anyways. Weird. The VOD on Amazon Instant is pretty much VHS quality and a poor one at that with breaks in the tape and whatnot. The premise is good but the execution is questionable as the film switches to the killer’s POV and back to normal. Definitely not a “good” film but strange enough to make it interesting.
