This wretched psycho-killer film features Nicholas Worth as a disturbed Vietnam vet who works through his aggressions by strangling nubile Los Angeles area women. Loosely based on the Hillside Strangler murders of the 1970s, the plot leads nowhere except to the vet's predictable death in
the closing frames. The only reason for watching this is Worth's portrayal of this most disturbed strangler--overweight and obsessed, into weightlifting, pornography, and raving on radio call-in shows.
