Avco Embassy Pictures
Directed by Donald Wolfe
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
(VHS, Unicorn Video)
A homicidal hippie who likes to dismember his victims takes a job as a servant to a reclusive, retired Hollywood actress. After seducing and murdering a maid, he takes up with his employer. They host lavish parties in her mansion or go out with his friends. When she begins to complain too much he keeps her sedated by injecting her with alcohol. When that stops working he murders her and hides the body from the rest of the staff. He gets lonely and begins sleeping with and talking to a mannequin that looks like her. Uneven mix of bloody horror, old Hollywood and psychedelia doesn't really work. Look for Stooge Joe Besser as a tour bus driver. Shot in the mansion of real life Hollywood starlet Norma Talmedge.
