Storyline

Young Terry Lambert returns home from serving a prison term for a gang-rape he was forced to participate in. He seeks revenge on his lawyer and the girl who framed him. But his real problem is his overbearing mother, whose boarding house he resides in and who keeps bringing him glasses of chocolate milk. One of her boarders, Lori, becomes attracted to him. However, while he was serving his prison sentence, Terry developed an interest in rough, violent sex, and gory death. Now, one by one, some of the town's women pop up dead. Written by alfiehitchie

This man is Psycho!
1 September 2015 | by (WILMINGTON, NC) – See all my reviews

Ever seen anyone get out of prison, and when he/she get out, that person is not the same? That's what happens to Terry(John Savage) in "The Killing Kind". Terry spent 2 years in prison for being a participant in a gang rape of Tina(Susan Bernard, "Faster Pussycat, Kill,Kill). She did however, lead Terry on. I think the rape was indeed staged by her and company. Evidently, she lied about how it went. Terry's mother(Ann Sothern) wanted her dead. Behind her back, Terry gets into his mother's car one night, and runs her off the road. The second person he kills next is the lawyer who gave him a bad deal. He goes to her house, get her drunk, and set her house on fire, with her in it! Terry goes too far when he sets his sights on Lori (Cindy Williams), the new boarder. The mother feels bad on what she does, as the old saying goes, "A mother's love goes only so far." "Psycho" deals with mother issues, "The Killing Kind" deals with the son's issues after prison. Prison should change people for the better. Instead, it brings the worst out of him. He would have been better if he wasn't such a "mama's boy", he would have lived a lot longer. 2 out of 5 stars
