Disturbed
10 years ago the perverse Dr. Russell couldn't resist the beauty of a young patient in his mental clinic and raped her one night. When she plunged herself from the roof shortly after, he described it as consequence of her heavy depressions. Now the same urge overcomes him with his new patient Sandy. He doesn't know that she's the daughter of his previous victim and that she's come for revenge.

Powerful
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This is really about a sadistic doctor in a mental hospital who rapes his patients. One of these patients commits suicide on visiting day in front of her very young daughter, who later, as an adult, admits herself into the same hospital under the pretense that she has sexual-oriented problems. Really she is just there for revenge. With the help of an orderly who is also disgusted by the doctor's behavior, she sets it up to look like the doctor accidentally murdered her while trying to rape her. Then her "body" mysteriously disappears and reappears despite the doctor's best efforts to conceal his crime. She "haunts" him until he looses his mind and ends up a mental patient himself.While this is certainly not a masterful film by any means, it's not really that bad, and if you are a big Malcolm McDowell fan you may even love it-- despite the general mediocrity of the movie, he shines. Whoever wrote the other review must have the attention-span of a doorknob. For a B-movie, it's really not that bad at all, and even has some charming and amusing moments (candy-gram, and I'll say no more).
What can you say about a film in which you can hear the director call "Cut"? This should give one a taste for how the film is put together. The editing is off. The sound is off (notice the foley work that does not match the actions on screen). The work is like a working print, rather than a polished film.
obviously doesn't understand about mind-trip movies. This movie was completely awesome and the suspense and visual mastery of this movie is superb. A 6 thumbs up!!! (me and 2 of my friends.) Watch this movie...watch it lots...
I first saw this film a few years ago when I was viewing Dom d Louise's early works, and became interested in other actors who had once had their names written in the stars, but were now little more than B-vehicle and up-staged stars of bad sit-coms.Malcolm, of course, was one of the first to make the leap from a rather desperate film career to mediocre sit-com, and has since been followed by such lights as: Cybil Shepherd (Cybil), Joan Cusak (Joan), Bette Midler (Bette), and Courtney Cox (Friends).I hadn't realised this was his first film sporting the future-villain hair-style, but this only adds to the value of my ex-rental copy of the film.Much has been said of the camera work in this film, as a sort of a chart of a man's descent into madness, but few people mention the shot that, I feel, is the key to the entire film. When one of the patients exposes himself to a nurse, we get a - filmically - rare penis POV. I have never seen such a thing attempted in a movie, and if you add this to the tremendous whirling tracking-shots, you end up with a film that I think proves beyond doubt that Scorsese owes more to Winkler than he dares reveal.Brilliant, and standing up to multiple viewings, I have seen it several times, and truly covet my copy of this obscure American classic.BTW, watch out for the genuinely "disturbing" scene, after the closing credits, where Malcolm "interferes" with the camera, raising all sorts of philosophical questions on the nature of madness, the truth of film, and Crossing The Line (on several levels). Once again, Brilliant!
