Filmed in Athens, Greece, this low-budget slasher film is centered on Jonathon (Joseph Bottoms) who has become blind, though the doctors can find no physical reason. He is fitted with an electronic camera-like device that provides some sight–just in time to witness a murder. Wanting to prove he can do it (apparently), he sets out to track down the crazed killer who specializes in carving up scantily dressed women. Yuck. Watch for the soon-to-be the empath counselor on "Star Trek: The Next Generation"–Marina Sirtis.
