THE KILLING KIND

title: THE KILLING KIND
year: 1973
cast: John Savage, Ann Sothern, Luana Anders, Cindy Williams
director: Curtis Harrington
rating: **

A young man (John Savage) who enjoys killing woman, cats, etc.. but most of this boring film centers on the pitiful relationship with the central character and his clingy mother, Norman Bates style. Their relationship not only drags but seems pointless, contrived, and at this point, cliche. All in all this is a boring cult film that has no real beat to it. Should have been more "pointless" murders and less pointless dialog. After all, it's an exploitation.
