Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The gory, censor-hacked murders (all of women) and the revelation of the nut's identity (he's gone on to kidnap a virgin as substitute for his dead daughter) are all out of the way inside half-an-hour, leaving a lot of dead time to establish this awful movie's single original gimmick: the novelty encounter of two psychos, who end up at each other's throats. Orson Welles' cameraman Gary Graver (The Other Side of the Wind) makes it all look better than it deserves.Author: PT
