Description: 100% pure vintage grindhouse sleaze. This is one of those movies that make you feel unclean just for watching it. The director is Joe Zito who would later go on to bring the world such classics as The Prowler, Friday the 13th 4, and Invasion USA.
A young man accidently kills a prostitute in his small town. He cleans up the mess and takes off for New York City in hopes of losing himself in the crowd.
The problem is he realizes that he enjoyed killing and starts killing pretty much any woman he is left alone with for longer than five minutes. A cop from his hometown is hot on his trail as he searches for the missing prostitute.
New York City is presented in all its 70’s era sleazy glory. Highly recommended to grindhouse fans.
Also, the guy works in a Yoo-Hoo factory which I find endlessly amusing.
