This film is sort of a poor man's version of Hitchcock's Psycho, no make that a destitute man's version of Psycho. It is a very low budget and grainy pic with Dan Grimaldi starring as Donny Kohler, a guy who was burned by his mother as a kid and so now takes to burning women in a metal room in his house. His mother is dead upstairs in a chair, he burns her too and she talks to him. I have to say Grimaldi is not bad in his role, his eyes are shifty and he looks a bit like David Berkowitz, and the sort of guy who would commit these heinous crimes. There is an amusing scene at a disco, where Donny dressed up in his complete 70's disco outfit tries but fails to impress a chick, instead he sets her on fire and gets beat up by her brother. The ending is alright and was also used in William Lustig's Maniac. A word of warning though, don't buy the DVD of the movie, it is very poor.
