Thriller attempt

Dubious acting, direction and a tired story (about a killer on the loose) make for very lackluster viewing. Veteran actor Timothy Bottoms turns in an embarrassing over the top performance as the ripper - his hypnosis scenes and final monologue are unintentionally funny - and due to the cardboard nature of the characters, I couldn't care about any of them, including the "good" guys. Mike Norris is actually a better actor than his father Chuck, but he'll need better vehicles than this if his career is to prosper. As time killers go, this rates rather low. 3 out of 10.
