Amateurish tale of mentally disturbed man (Elmendorf) whose brother (Perry) agrees to allow him to stay at a derelict hotel until its sold while he seeks treatment from psychiatrist (Baker), talks to his teddy (voiced by well-known Hollywood little person Billy Curtis) and takes advice from a street thug (O'Haco) on how to hurt people. A series of bizarre confrontations with apparent apparitions occur, and culminate in Elmendorf's character acquiring a 9mm uzi and a sudden Rambo-urge to "use it" (quote, unquote).
Academy Award winning wordsmith Philip Yordan produced and scripted this low-grade thriller, that includes some of the corniest dialogue I've ever heard uttered. "Make me a cripple, Ben" is one of my personal favourites, though there's also a cracker monologue delivered by O'Haco about being paid $4 hour and needing to mug fat people to pay for his $15 a night steak habit. It's unintentionally laughable.
Inept on almost all fronts, from the yamaha sound system soundtrack to the abominable acting, the most believable scene in the movie is when one of the hoods wets himself. Some minor credit can be paid to the bathroom strangulation scene, where some creative camera angles are used and the overall result is pretty effective, but that's a rare moment in this film. If you do persist, then the climax will be your reward - the expression on his face is priceless.
