With director Pete Walker there's probably a good 60% chance I will like his films. Then there's the one third that I find really disappointing. This one is only mildly disappointing. It's basically a British version of a giallo with a fellow who has a few mental issues and kills people, at least that's the way it's set up at the beginning, before the climax it becomes more of a mystery, there's one major twist and things fall into place very differently. Maybe the big problem for me was that this was a pretty easy twist to guess early on and I'm not sure if the whole thing makes a lot of sense. Also a lot of these characters seem pretty unlikeable so it's hard to care too much about the outcome. There are some decent kill-scenes though if that's all your looking for including a sledgehammer head-bashing, knitting-needle through the head and out the eye and a throat-slashing among the highlights. While it's not a complete waste I would say check out Walker's other films first before this one.
