A psychopath escapes from a mental institution and starts a murder spree, which ends in the pursuing of a young handicapped girl, who once got a blood transfusion from him. 

Monty Turner's gratingly redundant droning synthesizer score tends to be more annoying than effective, but fortunately Alan J. Levi's able direction, Steve Posey's polished cinematography, some witty dialogue ("I've got a hangover that would make King Kong climb a wall"), a decent amount of gore, and the uniformly fine acting from an interesting cast are all up to par. A radically cast against type Avalon in particular has a field day with his juicy homicidal fruitcake part: Frankie plants a hatchet in a guy's face, strangles a hot young lady after making love to her, and, best of all, vigorously engages in a strenuous mano-a-mano no-holds-barred physical confrontation with veteran tough guy actor Richard Jaeckel (who's excellent as usual as Marion's stern, cranky, overbearing dad). Lenny Montana, the hit-man who winds up sleeping with the fishes in "The Godfather," served as a co-producer, co-wrote the script and pops up in a small supporting role as an amiable tugboat skipper. A fun little fright flick.
