After murdering the girlfriend of motorcycle rider Joseph Meeker (David Keith), who came to the store at night to rob him, Michael Silvano (Martin Cove) has no idea that after his execution, he will return to this world to take revenge on him. Meeker says this already sitting in the electric chair. And indeed, after his death, the criminal returns to avenge the murdered wife.
The whole movie is a theater of the absurd. For one thing, those who have watched Wes Craven’s Electroshock will immediately notice the similarities between the films. And it becomes clear who and from whom, perhaps, borrowed something. In Electroshock, too, almost at the very beginning, the villain is executed in the electric chair, and then he returns to continue creating chaos and killing people. Secondly, the behavior of the actors is striking and indignant. Once you start to feel like you’re watching a completely different movie. Sometimes the characters are full of nonsense, which absolutely do not want to understand, and even more so continue to listen to their stupid dialogue. And there are times when someone immerses himself in his fantasies and completely forgets why he came to a certain place and what he has to do here.
The only thing a little impressive about the whole film is the stunts and constant downfalls of Michael Silvano and his former cop friend. It seems that for the sake of falls and explosions, the film was shot, because the story does not contain anything interesting in terms of the plot. As for those endless falls. It is very surprising how Michael, after being thrown on a table that fell to pieces, then threw dishes up a mountain, and this happens in many scenes, and in addition, after his dozen falls to the ground and on the lawn, remains relatively clean, unscathed and without scratches on his face. Although, this phenomenon suffered many militants of the 80s and 90s. After ten or twenty blows to the face with the same fist, something serious should appear more than a broken nose, a scratch on the cheek or an abrasion on the forehead. Meeker's not all right with his head, either. Of course, it is clear that he returned from the other world and the attic, perhaps went specifically, and he thinks he is not clear by whom, but the constant eccentricity on his part and behavior that does not lend itself to logical explanation, make us begin to pray for the imminent approach of the finale of the film.
