Don't Answer The Phone

Don't Answer The Phone (1980)
Director: Robert Hammer
Starring: Nicholas Worth
Personal Rating: 3/5

"This mix of drama, camp, and brutal violence is anchored by the performance of Nicholas Worth. Worth plays Kurt Smith, a sweaty, balding maniac who strangles women with a stocking, raping and mutilating them during and after death. A Vietnam veteran, Smith prowls the streets of Hollywood posing as a photographer, then sells his violent porn to sleazy smut-peddler Sam (Porky's star Chuck Mitchell). At home, Smith lifts weights and tells off his dead father, whose abuse was obviously one cause of his mania. Sometimes he calls the radio show of psychiatrist Lindsey Gale (Flo Gerrish), posing as a Puerto Rican named Ramon and asking for advice about his headaches. Dedicated cop McCabe (James Westmoreland) has no luck solving the case until Smith murders one of Dr. Gale's patients, in an unforgivably sick scene. The patient (Paula Warner) was molested by her father, which Smith overhears. When he breaks into her house that night, Smith ties her up while cooing, "Daddy loves his little girl," and pouring hot wax on her as she cries into her teddy-bear." © Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Killer's Moon

Killer's Moon (1978)
Director: Alan Birkinshaw
Starring: Anthony Forrest, Tom Marshall
Personal Rating: 1.5/5

"Killer's Moon is Britain's answer to I Spit On Your Grave only sleazier. Produced in the late seventies it mixes lurid scenes of rape with Clockwork Orange Droog style menace, drugs and dollops of ultra violence all of which combined make this a true 'video nasty'. Centered on four drugged-up escaped prisoners whose only purpose in life is to 'loot, kill and rape' and who in true exploitation style seek refuge in the nearest girls school Killer's Moon starts off mired in sleaze and stays there."
