This little shocker made it's television debut on October 24th, 1984 and horror fans never forgot it. It still delivers the shocks all these years later. In a small town a mentally disabled man is accused of battery of a young girl and a group of 4 men lead by Charles Durning take the law into their own hands and kill the man only to find out he was innocent seconds after they kill him.
Soon the men are being stalked by a mysterious killer, and that is where all the terror lies.
Modern day slop they call movies at the theater could take lessons from this film in how to build terror and suspense.
The ending is a shocker and a little touching at the same time. Kudos to VCI for finally brining this well deserved classic to DVD. I had not seen this for 26 years and was pleased to find it has lost none of it's punch.
Charles Durning as a psycho postal worker...imagine that, and he never takes off his uniform thru the entire film!!!!
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
