Teenager Ray Pyle, having murdered two girls without consequence (his companions being successfully browbeaten into terrified acquiescence) eventually gets to the point where he goes on a murderous rampage.
Allegedly based on two real-life cases, this film starts and ends with fairly savagely violent sequences with a long and seemingly endless central section in which Ray takes drugs, pursues an active sex life and behaves generally unpleasantly. I suppose that for gore fans there is a lot of gore in the closing section, but it is uncomfortably close to real life which makes it difficult to be emotionally isolated - it is more real life than fantasy horror.
There is good acting here though I felt that Marc Senter, as Ray, overacted horribly, not to mention being possessed of an enormously distracting mole on his cheek. There is also some directorial style which makes the low budget stretch further than one might expect. There is also a prodigious amount of bad language.
And I dare say I mentioned the extremely boring central section.
