My review was written in May 1988 after watching the film on Forum video cassette.
"Body Count", a/k/a "The 11th Commandment" is a ho-hum suspense feature, direct-to-video.
Cast is okay, but a little more effort in scripting would have been in order to qualify as either a theatrical feature or network telefilm.
Bernie White portrays hapless Robert Knight, committed to a mental institution by his greedy relatives. He escapes in order to avenge himself, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
Chief gimmick here is that our hero has been wronged, yet is really crazy and a bona fide killer, so audience sympathies are bound to be mixed. Dick Sargent as his uncle while erstwhile ingenue Marilyn Hassett proves to be impressive as a sexy, ruthless baddie.
Paul Leder's direction and all technical contributions are functional but uninspired.
