(1970) Lawrence Montaigne, Jo Anne Meredith, Elizabeth Plumb, Frank Cuva, John Vincent. Women are being bumped off by a mad killer who wears a nylon over his distorted face, while strangling them with the other nylon. The killer’s psychiatrist, who’s cheating on his wife, decides to use hypnosis to induce the killer to get rid of his wife for him. It doesn’t quite work out that way in the end. There is a lot of nudity and depraved killings in this film; yet it never really crosses any glaring lines of decency. Still bizarre and twisted, though. There’s one long hypnotic sequence that’s especially chilling. The twist ending is easy to see coming, but it’s still most effective. Yet outside of the raw, gritty, horrific storyline, the film has the look and feel of a late ‘60s made-for-TV film, with decent production values and surprisingly good acting. Most definitely rated R. Great color, from 35mm.
