Surprisingly incoherent and boring
One of my all time favorites.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
laughable flick is downright lame and badly made badly acted bad plot stupid premise and it is sleep inducing all the way i did not give a damn about this movie i wanted it to end just like that please avoid BOMB out of 5
The Psychopath (1973) A trip down memory lane. I saw this film many years ago on a old black and white t.v. A children's' show host Mr. Rabbey avenges the brutal abuse that parents inflict upon his kiddie fans. Mr. Rabbey (who looks like he's always on the verge of losing it) finally cracks and decides to go on a hunting trip. Watch out bad parents cause Mr. Rabbey is on the prowl! What happens next is priceless. However, trying to find this movie will be quite a chore.What makes this film notable was the fact that Joe "Maniac" Spinell made a short promo reel for a film based upon this one. In his unfinished film, he plays Mr. Robbie, a t.v. clown(who looks like a pudgy out of shape Edward James Olmos) who avenges his young fans child abuse by going after their parents. Sadly, Mr. Spinell could never find the funds to complete the project. The film was going to be titled Maniac II: "Mister Robbie". Rabbey or Robbie the similarities are all too close for comfort. Pretty violent for a P.G. movie.Recommended.
This was a weird movie on obviously a low budget. It features a children's show host who takes matters into his own hands when he realizes some kids are being abused by their parents-by killing the parents. It was kind of lame, and the only "great" parts were the close-ups of the title character's wild eyes. All in all, just another slasher movie.** out of ****
Pretty amazing movie directed by a guy who primarily directed gay porn (and produced by Jackson Bostwick...TV's Shazam (?!?))It was released in the South under the title "An Eye for An Eye" with the gimmick that you voted whether the little girl at the end was guilty or innocent (by dropping a ballot in a box on the way out of the theater, so obviously it was a pretty lame gimmick).My father called it "utter trash" (I begged him to take me to see it) and I credit it for nurturing (creating?) my love of exploitation movies. Someone should do a nice DVD release on this film.
