Based on the mass murder spree of Richard Speck in 1966, a young man who broke into a nurses’ home in Chicago, mutilating and killing several of the inmates, Wakamatsu’s film is a precise, sad delineation of a particular aspect of masculine sexual consciousness.
This is a relentless, shocking exploitation flick. Its brutal, nihilistic tone and exploitative themes make for a visceral, unsettling experience. Prepare for a gory, propulsive ride that revels in its own depravity.
