There’s a mystery asylum escapee on the loose and various townsfolk are receiving whispering, eerie calls luring them to the house. Cluttered with red herrings and a lengthy asylum flashback sequence (showcasing a broken-bottle eye gouging from the victim’s p.o.v), this pulls off its biggest shock half an hour in by bloodily killing off its top-billed star in a moment of axe-whacking frenzied violence. It anticipates many of the clichés of the later slasher cycle, and features a typically fine Woronov as a self-described “pushy”, independent, gun-toting early final-girl.
