Warning: Spoilers
Movie starts at a rate of knots as the worlds sexiest granny witnesses Adrian from 'Rocky' stab her father then makes the front page newspaper in world record time and committed in under 6 hours. Trial by media, man.

Groovy music from a Blue Oyster Cult cover band employ rubber band sound effects 'n all letting us know we're one day advanced from the 60s and moving to more modern times and jives.

What looks like either Ed Harris or Tommy Lee Jones with a little John Saxon on the side converses with a dead man who's turned from beige into um, a blue oyster cult member color.

Farmer Harris-Jones Saxon prepares the corpse for supper.

Meanwhile Adrian only spent what, a day in the asylum resort before released on a day care program to integrate back into society after stabbing her father only a short 30 hours ago.

The hybrid Harris-Jones Saxon farmer and Adrian soon get acquainted and she's handed a waitressing job with no qualifications, references or skills.

So, this is what Adrian did before moving to Kensington, PA and becoming a pet shop assistant?

Adrian goes undercover as Lynn in this movie.

She's obviously working cash in hand to avoid the IRS not to mention she drives a stolen car.

Working on a farm in a shoebox diner the surrounds look more Texas than LA.

Adrian's unaware that the only thing on the menu is her fellow man that's been preserved and sliced in sandwich-size pieces.

With only one customer frequenting the store they soon go out on a date which turns sour.

He's soon replaced by the town sheriff who wouldn't be out of place in the Lone Star state.

I haven't been concentrating on the movie for the past 10 minutes as my mind's elsewhere trying to think where I've seen this hybrid Zambrini farmer fella from. I think it's Old Terry from 'Back to the future 2' who says, "I wish I could go back to the beginning of the season and place some money on the Cubbies." He looks familiar. I've seen him in something else but I can't put my finger on what or where.

Adrian brings her first date home to exact revenge on his unwanted advances and does a little 'I Spit on Your Grave' on him. You know the bathtub scene?

Farmer Harris-Jones Saxon makes a pact with Adrian and helps cover up her crime scene via the pig disposal garbage unit. Or pig's plural.

I'm not gonna let this pass up, but who's chief in charge of editing responsible for this movie? What's with all the double takes looped that have been left included? It's confusing.

I love how confronting Farmer Harris-Jones Saxon is when questioned. He's got an answer for everything and even answers a question with a question. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's got an east coast accent, right? So he's not the only one running from Adrian's neck of the woods. But how'd he wind up over here in LA?

He takes a midnight beating when three locals trespass and snoop on his property in search of missing loved ones as the noose is starting to tighten on his charade. As if an old war horse like this wouldn't be packing.

Out of character, Adrian breaks it down one working morning with unethical dance moves only accepted in the late 60s. Bit early in the morning for party time, isn't it? She must have popped some Quaaludes with her coffee, or something.

A city official from Philly tracks Adrian down with intentions of dragging her back to the asylum but I wouldn't like to be standing in his shoes. Adrian goes full-blown Norman Bates and shower scenes the city official in pretty straight forward circumstances.

With the murders piling up all parties start to lose composure. A vigilante posse forms and are on the trail of the suspicious activity.

And I'm beginning to wonder who's gonna kill who at the end between Adrian and Farmer Harris-Jones Saxon. And there you go, I read this movie like a book, Adrian just planted a carving knife into Farmer Harris-Jones Saxon's back and fed him to the swine. Back stabber!

Adrian fakes her own death and picks up John Voight - I thought it was David Bowie when he was thumbing a ride.

Voight informs Adrian that he's well endowed in size and too much to handle but with her expertise I bet his body showed up somewhere between LA and PA along the line.

I'm curious to know if Alan Ormsby was paying to attention to this movie as I'm detecting hints of 'Deranged' about this at times only 'Deranged' is a far superior movie.
