    A shameless Psycho rip off, and not even a very good one at that. The burned corpses were oddly papier mache-like and just bleh.

    This Movie was shown as part of the Quentin Tarantino Film Festival in 1997. Most films on this list are very hard to find on DVD. To be in the Tarantino Film Festival most are over the top. This one was filmed in 1979 and we have a young man who is kidnapping women and burning t...( read more)hem to death then dressing them and sitting them in a room with his dead mother. Acting was pretty cheap, best parts were scenes with dead burnt women chasing our main star around the house at the end, makeup on these was outstanding. A good all night drive in flick, For Halloween, naw there is better out there, if your having a pre 1990 festival then go for it. But I can only give it 3 stars.

    A decent film that seems alot like the film Christmas Evil and even Psycho.
    Some parts it this are just hilarious and it doesn't really give you a scare just more like a "wow".

    Very twisted psycho killer film reminiscent of Maniac but rather than gore, this seems to focus on fire. Still a lot of nudity and brutality. Makes you feel kind of grimy afterwards. Very underrated

    Mama's boy who was burned by dear old ma as a child enjoys burning women after mom kicks the bucket. A Psycho rip off w/ a torching twist & a great disco scene where our loony Donny smashes a candle into a woman's face...& I though disco was supposed to sooth the soul

    A really weird Psycho Bates kind of type serial killer, but much more screw up by his mom if that is possible........even though there is nothing to guess or to be surprised by... the movie has a nostalgic kind of pace and storytelling that makes you stay and see it.......and the...( read more) killings go really well with the disco music soundtrack ...Great late 70's feeling and spirit.

    A shock film with shades of just about mediocre slasher you've ever seen, most notably any involving Ed Gein as a major influence. Yeah, there's a mommy angle to it. It's entertaining and the lead actor is delightfully insane.

    A grim and sometimes corny shocker.
