The schizophrenic psychopath Geoge Tatum got allegedly cured and released from the sanatorium. As it turns out, it is a huge mistake because George was part of an experiment with untested drugs. Being free again, he can't control his compulsions and starts killing again...

The cover of the US Blu-ray by Code Red reads "Uncut" but compared to the NL VHS, a few plot scenes are missing. Sex and violence scenes are actually uncut though. Regarding the quality, the US Blu-ray is recomandable. Also, the Blu-ray is stuffed full of bonus features ad contrary to the DVD, the interview with Romano Scavolini is subtitled now (English).
In the opening credits of the NL VHS, Tom Savini is listed special effects director. But Tom Savini denies having actively worked on the SFX. He was at set for a single to consult.

Minor jump-cuts with a length of less than 3 seconds haven't been considered in the following comparison.
