A young man (Michael Hurst) is programmed by an evil doctor to kill his parents, which he does and is condemned to an asylum. When he gets out, many years later, he longs for revenge on the doctor, who is now the head of an "open plan" asylum on Waiheke Island. The doctor has been busy keeping the dead alive, against their wills. After much frenzied and utterly silly violence, and some even sillier explanations, everyone, except for Michael's girlfriend appears to have been killed.

All Movie Guide Review

.... and it's knifings, impalings, power-drill lobotomies and the pornography-of-violence all the way. Our very own movio-nasty. The type of film that leads wise-guy critics to discuss the clever special effects and mixed soundtrack as a means to dedging the issue. (Nicholas Reid - ' A Decade of New Zealand Film')

Should be seen as the thrid feature of a double bill ... this film wasn't released, it escaped - David Lascelles, Rough Cut - Feb. 1985.
