Hitchhiking through the USA, young Robbyn (Meg Foster) one day meets
charming fortysomething Korean veteran Jason (Laurence Harvey), who
invites her to stay at his beachside-place. She happily agrees, only his
otherwise perfectly nice sister Grace (Janna Pettet) objects, for reasons
unknown ... but to no avail.
At night though, Robbyn decides to snoop around the house a
little ... & promptly stumbles over Jason chopping human flesh
...
Robbyn barely escapes, but when she wants to report it to the police,
she has to find Jsaon got there first, made a complaint about her &
planted some drugs among her possesions. Nobody sems to believe her, least
of all the police, only young Alex (David Macklin), a staffmember of the
hospital she stays at for a few days, shows sympathy for the girl.
Eventually, the police throws Robbyn out of town, but she somehow
manages to make it back persuade Alex to help her investigate
Jason's house ... where they find him at his butchering best again, &
he shows no objections in killing both of them - but in the end, his own
sister sees no other way & has to shoot him.
Rather boring serialkiller movie that seems to be much more concerned
with fleshing out its characters than telling the actual story ... bad
thing though the characters aren't all that interesting & rather
follow tried-&-true patterns. An uninspired direction & lame
dialogue don't help either.
