Endearingly chintzy effort (dubbed a "gore-nography" on the video box) has little Matthew killing his Pa under a bulldozer and accidently crushing his hand in the process. Many years later he's all grown-up, has a hook for a hand and comes home to Ma. However he goes nutty when he learns his mother has remarried and after killing her and her new hubby he sets-off on a murderous spree that ends with him kidnapping a prostitute/artist who has befriended him.

An agreeable mix of exploitation, psychological horror and camp this is well directed with some style by Ray and manages to be a fairly watchable effort. Eventually it gets too ridiculous for its own good with a really weak ending.
