Frank Zito has quite a few unsolved issues with his abusive and dead mother. Because of this, he walks around the streets of New York and kill young girls, in a horrible manner. His collection of scalps gets bigger and bigger, until he meets Anna, a photographer. Their relationship might bring him salvation, though that is frankly not a certainty.

Discovered by many in the visual grime of its René Château 1980s VHS edition, William Lustig's iconic film - haunted by Joe Spinell's unbelievable performance- is back for you in a restored 4K version. It eventually does justice to the work of Tom Savini - its gore effects for the film are among the most outstanding of his filmography, also rich in impressive horrors.
