------Josh's Review-----
This was another Fearnet movie. The description told how this movie was so disturbing for its time that it ruined the
director's career, but is now viewed as a masterpiece. The problem was that it was made in 1960- a time that was multitudes
different than today. The concept was decent I guess. A man's father was a biologist who studies the effects of fear on the
nervous system by filming his son's (the main character) reaction to scary episodes. After his father's death, the son carries
on his father's idea by filming women while he kills them. In his mind it is an important documentary; really he is just a
crazy man with a bad childhood. Maybe this movie needs to be rebuffed today with some serious added terror. Because, in fact
it sucked something terrible. I am not sure you see 1 drop of blood. You only really get to see 1 person being killed, and
even that isn't at all graphic. If your an old lady this might be a horrific film. If your not an old lady you will be bored
out of your mind. There's not much to say about a film this boring. 1 star.
