Pre-viewed for quality and played great on my Philips duel deck. Cassette has foil security stickers on both endcaps assuring you of first generation quality. Box has been cut mounted in a white hardshell display case. It has a small 'horror' sticker on the cover. Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being produced. The movie begins with Jim Hutton (Timothy's dad) running and screaming full force towards the camera, and it really never settles down for the next hour and a half. As Paul Masters, an innocent man unjustly convicted for murder and commited to a mental institution, Hutton really pulls out all the stops here as a basically sympathetic guy who finds himself consumed by the darkness of revenge after he aquires the ability to "Astral Project" himself out of his body and kill those responsible for his incarceration and the death of his mother. Thanks to the aid of his doctor, Laura (Julie Adams, 'Creature From the Black Lagoon'), Masters is released after the real culprit is found, and he immediately causes the judge responsible for his case to shoot himself with a rifle during a tryst with a married blonde bimbo. In the most sordid sequence, a nurse who neglected Masters' mother and let her die meets her end in a hot shower stall, and pretty soon local cop Paul Burke (an unflattering depiction of a law enforcer) starts putting two and two together. After Burke sleeps with the doctor during a romantic interlude (another weird scene), Masters really finds himself going over the edge. It's amazing that this film was even considered for its 'PG' rating. Sleazy, sordid, and filled with nudity and violence, this surreal oddity leaps from one bizarre set piece to the next with little regard for logic. Even 'Touched By an Angel' TV show's Della Reese pops by for an abrasive cameo appearence that must be seen to be believed, and it all ends with a surprisingly grim and sadistic finale. Not really all that good, PSYCHIC KILLER is at least never boring and should please any discriminating sleazy Drive-In movie-hound.
