In this film, the roles were played by Luana Anders and Peter Brocco, in the other, by Carrie Snodgress and Ray Milland.

Errores
Unless she's suddenly developed some sort of motor impairment just for this scene, Lori doesn't struggle near enough against Terry's dunking for a would-be drowning victim.

Citas
Thelma Lambert: He's got about as much chance as a hobo in hell.

Versiones alternativas
The 1987 UK video (released as "The Psychopath") was cut by 9 secs to remove shots of nudity during the opening rape scene.

One of the most disturbing portrayals of homicide ever filmed.

Your other reviewers have described the outline of this twisted, disturbing film quite well. I would just like to recommend it to devotees of genteel "drawing room" murder a la Agatha Christie, or "Gothics" who think that there's something awesome or exhilarating about violent death.

One of the portrayed murders; (I won't say which, in deference to those who may want to see the movie) in addition to being graphic and disturbing; captures the initial surprise, fright, pain and ultimate helplessness felt by a murder victim, as I've never seen it done on film. Excellent medicine for anyone who thinks murder can be humorous or lighthearted. I always considered myself a battle scarred veteran of sick films, unphased by anything. Yet, this one really bothered me for a long time. Definitely not for children or the overly sensitive but made to order for anyone with a casual attitude about violence, or disposed to "forgive" murderers.
