After Warren kills another person, he begins to harass Kessler's daughter with obscene phone calls. Kessler goes crazy, because he immediately understands that his daughter will now be the next victim...

First in the series of Canon films with Charles 'Judge, Jury and Executioner' Bronson, here too the moral is extremely curious but the film is very entertaining. Slasher meets republican propaganda.
The main reason for Leo Kessler to appoint Stacey as a suspect is the fact that he owns a masturbation machine. Which Charles, without using gloves (!), presents to him with the legendary words: 'You know what this is for, Warren? It's for JERKING OFF!'.

A babyface serial killer, I'm not too upset about that. Or a serial killer who could have been in a Calvin Klein advertisement, or walked on a catwalk: smooth skin, perfect symmetry... Not that that was so bad here, but it came close. Give me the uglier serial killer with angular, hard features... although, Anthony Perkins also had something feminine about him, so that doesn't quite fit. Although Perkins could really have a dark look and that lanky look of him gave him something creepy.
The acting leaves something to be desired and Bronson is anything but cool here compared to Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry that I saw just before this.
His police partner has a real Ken head, very handsome by the way, not that bad, but he looks like Ken, or a gay porn star from the eighties. Adam Stevens (that name too haha...)
In the movie his name is McAnn...
There's another actor in there who also looks like Ken, with a similar Dallas/Dynasty look.
A lot of nudity for a serial killer film, the killer himself also seems to be constantly walking around naked, which always reminded me of the narcissistic Patrick Bateman.
Last scene that he chases his victim stark naked across the street was very borderline ridiculous.
Still a sufficient pass; the story was quite nice with a totally twisted killer and the film looked nice and 80's.
