Silent movie star Lance Hayward (robustly played by John Ireland) dons the guises of various characters he's portrayed as he embarks on a merry murderous spree bumping off assorted folks who've trespassed into his Hollywood mansion who naturally include the usual gaggle of annoying bonehead young people.
Director Nick Marino keeps the enjoyable story zipping along at a snappy pace, stages the elaborate kill set pieces with grisly aplomb, and delivers a handy helping of bloody gore. The sturdy cast of familiar B-flick faces in glorified bit roles helps a lot: Cameron Mitchell as the cranky Detective Sanders, Aldo Ray as drunken bum Captain Ned, Alan Hale Jr. As amiable security guard Jake Nelson, and Dan Haggerty as the non-nonsense Ted Michaels. As a tasty bonus, porn star Jamie Summers takes a bubble bath while foxy motorcycle mama Michelle Bauer goes gloriously full frontal when she runs buck naked down a hallway. A fun piece of slice'n'dice schlock.
