The plot focuses on a feminist journalist who becomes the target of a serial killer, who follows her to the hospital after attacking her in her home. PlotDeborah Ballin, a feminist activist, inspires the wrath of the misogynic psychopath and serial killer Colt Hawker on a TV talk show. He attacks her, but she survives and is sent to County General Hospital. Colt begins stalking her. Deborah befriends the nurse Sheila Munroe, who admires her devotion to women's rights. Colt murders an elderly patient and a nurse. He overhears Sheila's opinions on Deborah and "that bastard" who attacked her. Colt decides to focus his attention on Sheila, stalking her and her children at home. Colt courts a young girl, Lisa, and then brutally beats, tortures and rapes her. The next day, Deborah discovers that the patient and the nurse have been killed, so she suspects her attacker is back to finish the job. She tries to convince her boss, Gary Baylor, and Sheila that she is not safe, but they both think she is paranoid. Colt visits his father, who was disfigured years ago by his mother, explaining his hatred for self-defending women. He tries to kill Deborah again but is thwarted by her security. A frantic Sheila is paged and finds Lisa, whose wounds she had treated, waiting for her. Lisa says she knows the identity of Deborah's attacker, and where he lives. Before she can alert anyone, Sheila receives a phone call from Colt, warning her that he is in her house with her daughter and babysitter. She sends Lisa to warn Deborah, then rushes home and finds her daughter and babysitter safe in bed. She places a call to Deborah, but Colt springs forth to stab Sheila in the stomach and pushes her to the ground. He places the phone to her ear, torturing her for Deborah to hear. He moves toward Sheila's daughter. Sheila can only scream in terror as he walks out, leaving her to die. Colt goes home, where he devises one last plan to kill Deborah. He breaks a beer bottle underneath his arm, wounding himself badly. Gary and Deborah have an ambulance sent to Sheila's house. Still alive, but badly wounded, she is rushed to the hospital. Gary accompanies the police to Colt's apartment, where they discover the photos of his previous victims, as well as Deborah and Sheila's. They also learn that the wounded Hawker has been taken to County General. Sheila is taken into the emergency room and Colt is wheeled in. After being bandaged and medicated, he sneaks away to find Deborah and attacks her. She flees to an elevator. In the basement, she goes into a radiography room, finding a helpless Sheila, all alone, waiting for X-rays. Realizing she must lure Colt away to protect Sheila, Deborah leaves and deliberately gives her location away. Colt approaches the curtain she is hiding behind and Deborah stabs him with a switchblade, killing him. Sheila is wheeled to safety while Gary comforts Deborah, who faints at the sight of what she has done. Cast
ReleaseThe film was released theatrically in the United States by 20th Century Fox on May 28, 1982.[2] The film appeared on the UK's "Video Nasty" list, even though it was the same version that had been cut for a cinema release there, and starred well-known Hollywood actors such as William Shatner and Lee Grant. Despite this overt censorship, the uncut version was broadcast by ITV in 1989; this resulted in censure by the Broadcasting Standards Council, as the version had not been cleared for video release.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} The film was released on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment in 2006.[3] This release is out of print. It was re-released by Shout Factory, along with Bad Dreams, as a double feature DVD on September 13, 2011.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} ReceptionReviews from critics were very negative. Vincent Canby of The New York Times called the film "an especially clumsy, overwrought example of slash-and-hack melodrama ... The laughs here are not intentional."[4] Variety wrote that the film, "though artless, is terror-crammed and bloody enough to appeal to the raunchy circuit trade."[5] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave it half a star out of four and called it "yet another depressing sickie-with-knife-chasing-women picture." He found it "shocking and depressing" that Lee Grant and William Shatner appeared in it, asking, "Do these people really need a paycheck that badly?"[6] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called the film "just another sickening, numbskull movie that hypocritically exploits extreme violence against women while purportedly protesting it."[7] Tom Shales of The Washington Post wrote, "You're not just sorry you came to a movie like this; you feel saddened and troubled that it even exists, that somebody saw a few more quick bucks in such a tired, ritualized and malicious formula."[8] Geoff Brown of The Monthly Film Bulletin called it a "lamentable shocker," with the writer and director "charging like bulls through a script ridden with implausibilities."[9] Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 15%, based on {{nowrap|13 reviews}}, with an average rating of 3.8/10.[10] See also
