So many negative reviews about this flick so it was time for me to give it a try. Especially when you know that the director Cliff Guest made a famous videoclip in 1986, Madonna's True Blue. He moved further to direct a lot of clips but he also made a few flick, let this one his first and it shows that he has the acknowledge of making a flick. I mean, the use of zoom and editing, it do works.But for many it's all too cheesy. In some ways it is, the monsters that our schizo is seeing are indeed a bit cheesy but for me it all fits perfectly. With his sick mind he think every girl is going to strip for him and that's what they do throughout the whole movie, gratuitous nudity, in some way yes and no. But the sickness in his mind do offer a few killings, not that bloody or so but due the way it's shot it do gives it a disturbing feeling. Some viewers will find it boring, maybe the sound could have been better but I liked it. It's not a classic but the acting from almost all first time thespians is above mediocre. The title is what it's all about and does show it in a cheesy and disturbing (slo-mo of shot in the head) way.Gore 1/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

Clay Moyer (Greeson) is a 27 year old who lives at home with his parents. The schizophrenic Clay was just released from a mental hospital and we can see easily he is not out of the woods. Hallucinations and fantasies dominate Clay's life, He sees a Demon in odd places including his TV and the audience isn't sure at times if what they're seeing is reality or one of Clay's visions. He manages to meet a Woman named Susan (Geoffrion) whom he dates a few times. After she witnesses him flip out a few times she avoids him which seem to make Clay completely loose it. He stalks a number of women which all turn into a rape and strangulation. With direction by Cliff Guest, this low budget outing has some disturbing scenes and a scare or two. A lot of nudity and a whacked out performance from Timothy Greeson as the lead keep you watching. Greeson goes from some scenes of true terror to overplaying it so badly you can't help but laugh. The movie could have used a little more balance and a more in depth look into Clay's psychotic break.

Tormented young man Clay Moyer (a superbly intense and convincing portrayal by Timothy Greeson) has horrific demonic visions and can't distinguish fantasy from reality. Clay tries to have a romantic relationship with the sweet Susan (a charming performance by pretty blonde Lisa Geoffrion), but fails. Moreover, Clay loses his job as a dishwater at a local restaurant. Clay goes off the mental deep end and embarks on a vicious killing spree in which he brutally butchers several beautiful young ladies. Director Cliff Guest and screenwriter Laura Radford do an astute and expert job of nailing Clay's profoundly disquieting sense of angst and alienation. Moreover, Guest depicts Clay's startling outbursts of savage and sudden violence in a truly jolting stark and graphic manner. Bart Tau's rough, grainy cinematography brings a feeling of gritty authenticity to the film. This movie further benefits from fine acting from a capable no-name cast: Greeson excels as the scary, yet still human and hence quite sympathetic psycho Clay, Geoffrion positively shines as the compassionate Susan, plus there are sturdy turns by Ken Ceresne as Clay's stern father Frank, Carole Garlin as Clay's shrewish mother Maureen, and Jerry Disson as ineffectual psychiatrist Dr. Dressler. The credible evocation of a pedestrian everyday working class reality, the shivery, flesh-crawling synthesizer score by Paul Pettit and Joel Jacob, a generous sprinkling of tasty female nudity, the grimly serious tone, and Barry Anderson's supremely grisly make-up f/x all add to the overall sound quality of this genuinely creepy and unsettling picture.

A young man is building a large sand castle, and a young woman playing beach volleyball nearby takes a liking to him, and they begin dating. He lives with his parents, who are frustrated by how he doesn't do they things they ask, but they still love him. He works as a dishwasher, and at some point at been in group therapy at a hospital. He takes Thorazine, but he's run out of it.He has a number of fantasies, often sexual. Some of them are nice, but in some he rapes and kills. He starts having hallucinations and dreams that are disturbing. His relationship was going well, until some of his problems start affecting him, and his girlfriend gets scared. For example, he's had a recurring nightmare about a hand emerging from the sand castle, and when he sees his girlfriend working on the castle on her own, he's afraid for her, and tackles her. He grows angrier and more violent.Kind of a sad movie, in a way, since you're watching someone's life and mind deteriorate for lack of the right help. There are a fair number of icky horror effects, like melting hands, floating eyeballs, alien facehuggers, and so on - all things in his mind. There are a couple relationship montage-to-music scenes that detract a bit from the movie for the sheer cheesiness of the music.
