The twisted tale of Caleb, and his alter ego Lester. After being pushed around too far, Caleb transforms into Lester and returns to those who have wronged him.
'Wickedly funny slasher from the golden era of weird films was directed by Donald M. Jones who also did Abducted & The Forest. Erik Stern in fine form plays Caleb a gimp handed gardener who’s put upon by most his female employees, the fact he’s bald got a dodgy hand, foot and jam jar glasses isn’t his only set back he’s also got a split personality and becomes his long dead bother Lester. The scenes when Caleb talks to himself are undeniably inspired by Psycho, but it’s the scenes he’s transformed into Les that work best as he changes various styles to bed the females who have upset Caleb then slaughters them, best one he does is so Scarface Tony Montana styled that had me rolling with laughter. Erik Stern is so good in this just has so many funny lines as Les real junk gems 'You can fill me up with nymphoid satisfaction'. So many films like this either go down the perverse road or nasty road this instead manages to hint at both but lets its comic side win out.'
