A mental patient has recurring dreams concerning a horrific event where a child kills his father and a hooker (I think) with an axe. He tells psychiatrists that he's not sure whether he IS the child, or simply watching from distance. Anyway, this model citizen gets released and shortly thereafter he starts killing people in gruesome fashion. He becomes fixated on a family living in Florida, a divorced wife with three kids, one of whom seems to be somewhat less than stable.
It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out the dream sequences or why he chooses this particular family but this film is nonetheless very nonsensical. It looks cheap and not very professionally made, shaky and flavourless photography, mediocre script at best and very badly acted. The film is widely known for it's gore drenched set pieces, but I must have watched a censored edition because the gore here is nothing to write home about.
It picks up a bit in the end and what gore there is is pretty well done but overall this is a pretty lame horror film.
