this film get roast by the boy at mst3k and but it actually a neat and nasty piece of low budget film noir . the plot be tight and the character be believable ( within the good boy get obsess with bad girl genre ) and the pacing be solid and the climax be well handle and and the cast be bolster by several fine character actor . true and most of the time you want to hit the protagonist with a brick and but he actually quite effectively creepy when he play the mastermind . the scene between him and his dad be quite powerful and in a minimalist kind of way . sure it depress and but that the point . good movie .
