Plot
A Vietnam veteran that spends his days photographing pretty girls, and his nights strangling them, sets sights on the patients of a radio psychiatrist.
Sinekatalog’s take
A photographer-turned-killer targets callers to a radio psychiatrist. A grimy exploitation thriller that revels in sleaze and shock. Hard to defend, but a time capsule for grindhouse admirers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
