A mentally disturbed man kills people.
That's it. There's next to no plot, no brains, no nothing! I saw this thing back in a movie theatre in 1981. I was equal parts bored, sickened and just amazed at how STUPID this was! The audience had a great time...after half an hour of trying to take it seriously they tore into it. They yelled back at the screen and threw things...it made the movie more fun than it actually was.
The VERY gory finale (in slow motion no less) was a definite highlight. It was sick but at least it wasn't boring. That's the part when most of the audience walked out.
Also Tom Savini did NOT do the gore effects here. They advertised that heavily until he sued them--he said he made some suggestions but that was it. Still, the gore is very good.
Still...no plot, lousy acting and slow motion axe murders. You decide whether this movie is for you.
