Through revelations provided by his wife's ghost, he attempts to solve the murder -- which may have been committed by something not entirely human. Although nowhere near as bloody as Walker's notorious cult classics Schizo or The Confessional, this is still rather gruesome stuff, enlivened somewhat by the presence of Pamela Stephenson as the latest object of Jones' affection. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Budd Wilkins, Slant Magazine
Depraved animals and diehard fans of British grindhouse films alike will want to add The Pete Walker Collection to theirs. Kino and Redemption Films have provided these titles with an exemplary Blu-ray package that's stacked with extras.

Scott Weinberg, Monsters At Play
The flick never really comes close to being scary, but it has a kitschy old-school charm that helps one forgive the slow stretches.
