6/10
A persistent, incompetent n stupid serial killer.
14 May 2017
I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. Found the second viewing very boring n mild, especially by today's standards. This is my dad's one of his fav slasher film.

Lee Grant enrages misogynist serial killer Michael Ironside because of her strong views on women's rights. After narrowly escaping death, Lee finds herself stalked in her hospital by the killer.

Michael Ironside has very little dialogue and just has to look insane, something he's fantastic at. Only two interesting aspects r ther in this boring n tame film.

1) there's no attempt to hide who the killer is. Right from the start, we know the murderer's identity. 2) there is jus one tense scene of Ironside wearing jewellery...

Afterwards the film became repetitive and slow and it is lacking bloodshed. It is devoid of tension n suspense. Our killer is so relentless that he sneaks in n out the hospital so many times but at the same time he is a very incompetent one as he is not able to finish wht he started. I found the killer to be dumb too. What kinda serial killer brings home a girl, rapes n tortures her n then leaves her alive n that too when the whole area's police r on the lookout for him. What kinda killer leaves all his victim's photos easily accessible. William Shatner is totally wasted.
