“Caution: Viewing may cause severe damage to your brain cells”
A spate of killings of teenagers by a maniac dressed like a hippie causes a detective to check the records for similar killings. He discovers that every five years, in the fifth month of the year, for five consecutive days, the same type of killings have occurred, and the few descriptions of the suspect always match: he's dressed like a hippie. As the detective searches for the killer, he begins to have suspicions about his superior, an older man who is haunted by memories of his military service in Vietnam.
This SOV slasher drips with cheap gore and a relentless, almost hypnotic sense of dread. Its low-fi aesthetic amplifies the unsettling atmosphere, making for a truly grimy and disturbing watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
