Frankie Avalon plays psychopathic killer Paul Foley. Paul escapes from the institution housing him and starts dropping bodies on his path across America leading him to an inevitable confrontation with a young girl who received a blood transfusion from him years back. For some reason this has caused a psychic link with the young lady who is now witnessing his crimes in her mind’s eye. Avalon plays a mournful tune on his flute, something he’s been doing since as a kid he witnessed his papa take a gun to his mama, her lover and then himself. Tough break. High schooler Marion not only has these visions fucking with her head and causing the camera to zoom in on her eyes, she also has to deal with her hardass/abusive papa Richard Jaeckel being a real dick and hating on her seaman boyfriend Joey. I’m guessing it’s misplaced rage at himself because his drunk-ass is the reason his little girl has a leg brace and why a blood transfusion was necessary. Sure hope he’s not supposed to be the hero of this. Anyway, Paul rambles on, murdering anyone that dislikes his skills as a flutist. Eventually Marion stumbles across Paul burying a corpse in the woods and now she’s on his radar. Bad news for her friends or at least it would be if the movie had any interest in entertaining its audience. If non-threatening flute music and extreme close-ups of a girl’s eyeball are your thing, well that’s kind of unsettling but you should probably watch this. “Mild” is probably the best word I could use for this one. The lead is cute but none of the victims-to-be (our hero included) are all that memorable. Luca Brasi is there as a ship captain and that was nice to see. There’s also some hatchet violence to keep things a little interesting as it shambles to the close.
