โ€ข
A psychopathic killer is executed in the electric chair, but instead of dying, he receives new energy from the electric shock and escapes from prison. He immediately goes to the house of the policeman who had arrested him to take revenge on him and his family. The film, produced by Sean Cunnigam (the one from "Friday the 13th" and "The House of Helen"), has had a troubled existence, halfway through filming the Australian director David Blythe abandoned the project and thus the production replaced him with James Isaac, with rather poor results; the protagonist of the film is the star of the TV series "Millennium" Larce Henriksen. Apart from a few good semi-splatter sequences and the decent cast, the film is very little, especially because of a rather unoriginal screenplay.
