A psychic detective named Bill Carson (Cameron Mitchell) with ESP looks for an abducted girl her parents named the Parkers hired him to do.
He scents out everything in her room to find out any information on her and then finds out that she was killed by a mass murderer who's face wasn't revealed as the killer happens to be a deformed malevolent man who terrorises people bringing their worst fears to life.
The girls father Mr. Parker (Peter J. Elliott) insists on tracking down the killer but ends up being murdered himself.
Meanwhile, this killer is watching this young pre-school teacher named Mary (Jennifer Holmes) Meanwhile, this killer is watching this young pre-school teacher wherever she goes and starts to get paranoid since she may be his next victim since her biggest fear is being in her apartment alone at night.

 

Ugh! How bad and plotless can you get?!.
This story didn't make much sense whatsoever as it doesn't explain to why the events are happening.
The budget is real bad too and it's not the least bit scary either.

The acting is very low grade but of course everything about this movie is pretty bad.
However, the late Cameron Mitchell who gained a reputation in bad horror movies seems to focus on his character well.

Jennifer Holmes goes into a dressing room and a mirror reflects on her changing into an outfit with a brief breast shot.
Zoli Marki
is in a towel from her waist revealing her breasts and then takes off her towel and her butt is also revealed.
Jennifer Holmes
is wearing nothing but panties escaping from the killer total breasts too.

The killer is stabbed in the neck with scissors.

Percival Rubens is terrible with his work on this as he doesn't know how to bring this boring film to life.
Also the picture in this film is so dark you can't see the murders too well and what is going on due to a terrible budget.

The most music composed by Nick Labuschagne is the screeching violin music but that is nothing special as we've heard it before in many other horror films.

During a dance club scene the disco hit "Funky Town" by Lips Inc.

[Explaining his ESP]
Col. Bill Carson: Sometimes I get these... feelings. Vibes, as the kids would say.

Mary: (Picks up the phone after it rings) Hello?! .... I see the showers not working. Need a tranquilizer?

Joan Parker: Did your extrasensory perception prepare you for this?
[shoots Carson in the head]
