A bleak, intellectually rigorous examination of sexual violence and masculine pathology grounded in a real crime, prioritizing psychological analysis over exploitation.

Based on the factual case of a young man who broke into a nurses' home in Chicago, mutilating and killing several of the inmates, Wakamatsu's film is a precise, sad delineation of a particular aspect of masculine sexual consciousness.
