Despite a shorter length it feels like hours before it gets to the action. Cheesy lasers & a Hulk-like villain. Not much gore for "mangling"
| genre | Horror |
|---|---|

On the trail are a TV reporter, the father of one of the victims, and a police detective, but despite their efforts only the mysterious psychic DeRenzy knows what the killer is and how to stop it. |
