This movie is dumb as hell. It's obvious from the thumbnail on Shudder and it's obvious 20 minutes in that the killer is a man dressed in women's clothing. Word of warning to any movie, you're never gonna fool anyone trying to tell us a killer is a lady but is actually a dude. Also, in the Psycho-esque exposition end scene, the lead of a film, a fucking male film score composer. surmises this of the killer, "his ego as a child was too fragile which caused his masculinity to regress." Direct quote! So....a fragile ego in a boy makes him want to be a murderous woman? So if a boy is weak that makes him "regress" to wanting to dress as a woman? And it's a bad thing to want to dress in women clothes? What the shit are they trying to say here?! Fuck this movie. I get that it was 1983 and blah blah blah, doesn't mean I have to tolerate it in 2017. Ugh. I won't be watching this again. I'm very tempted to list other movies that pull this bullshit but as angry as I am at having wasted any time watching this or any other movie that paints cross dressing or the feeling of being trapped in the wrong body as the sole reason for murder, I'm not gonna spoil other movies since anyone reading this is assuming the "spoiler" blur is based only on this movie. But hit me up if you want others to avoid.
