After the death of his beloved wife Wendy, the psychologist Dr. Ian Lazarre becomes alcoholic. His second wife Teresa Lazarre has just left him but together with his lawyer and best friend Joe McNamara, they convince Ian to go to rehab. They bring him to the Blackhurst Institute, where Dr. Vernon Renquist submits Ian to an experimental treatment with the support of the nurses Racquel Chambers and the strong James. However Ian becomes aggressive and delusional, and believes Dr. Renquist is damaging his brain with the medication and Teresa is cheating him with Joe. Is Ian right or becoming deranged? —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

How did they get John Savage and Malcolm McDowell to be a part of this mess?
A poor excuse for a story, lousy editing... well, basically, lousy everything. Usually, when I see a movie, no matter how bad, there's always one or two moments, or one or two elements, that make it worth the while. Not so here. There's absolutely nothing new in this movie, and all those familiar elements are put together badly - or should I say, not put together, rather jumbled into one big soulless mess.
Don't waste your time. It's bad, but not bad enough, I'm afraid, to make even me laugh. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
