Schizoid

**_A psycho targets a therapist’s patients in Los Angeles_** Shot in March, 1980, this debuted five months after “Friday the 13th" and comes in the tradition of 70s’ flicks inspired by “Psycho,” such as “Haunts,” “Schizo,” “The Toolbox Murders” and "Don't Go in the House." The doe-eyed protagonist is effectively played by Marianna Hill, who was 38 during shooting and still lookin’ good. You mig...

Who is killing the women in Marianna Hill's therapy group? Is it the creepy psychiatrist Klaus Kinski? His troubled yet cute daughter Donna Wilkes (who has a brief nude scene that I had been dreaming about since McLean Stevenson's forgotten sitcom "Hello Larry")? Marianna's grinning ex-husband Craig Wasson? What about a young Christopher Lloyd, the bitter handyman? Or even the even younger looking...

Satisfying and somewhat effective mystery-thriller. It's another 1980s-era movie that's not entirely special but kept my attention throughout. Also fun to see Christopher Lloyd in a film early in his career (though had been on Taxi for a couple years before this release). **3.25/5**
