Michael Lerner plays a mommy-obsessed serial killer who cuts out the eyeballs of his victims to bring them back to his mother played by Zelda Rubenstein, but that's not all there is to this film. It turns out that this is just a movie playing in a movie theater and the real killer is in there and ready to slash some victims of his own.

Anguish has an inventive premise and some moments of effective bloody violence, but it's not the most emotionally involving of films and it's hard to figure out who to pull for. It works better as an artistic experiment than a normal film.
