hit the ground run and the film begin with three murder in a row . no plot and no character and no motivation while the second murder happen off screen and and that victim sever head be actually use to quite efficiently bludgeon the third victim to death . this be a high point . but the lewis be obviously smart enough to lead with strength while soon theyre cover up botch dialogue scene with detective voice over and shoot endless snappy repartee in ugly wide shot . by now this betacam production horror atmosphere be rapidly give way to an insurance infomercial vibe and with the monumental ( and rather endear ) plainness of the lead skew thing far in that direction . shlub cop investigates and meat cleaver guy slaughter and repeat and climax early with a memorable severed finger in the salad gag . only and how the hell do the finger get in the salad . and wasn not the blood cult purpose to collect the appendage they sever . when the gore stop make sense and you know youre in trouble . and without spoil the big and nonsensical twist end and just take my word for it represent the fascinating incompetence of the first scene give way to a deep cathode tube smash impulse . the basic reaction be to try to put it behind you and get on with your life .
