A straightforward 1980s slasher built on serial murder, police procedural tension, and the threat to a protagonist's lover, with moderate suspense but little psychological depth.

Someone is killing off nubile real estate agents. A psychologist doing a therapy talk show begins getting calls from the perpetrator, and cooperates with the police to try and stop him. Unfortunately, his lover is a real estate agent, and when it becomes clear that the madman is getting information for his kills from her discarded home listings, they both become endangered.
