The Love Butcher

When a string of lawn implement slayings struck a well-off neighborhood, the eye of suspicion passed over local gardener Caleb (Eric Stern), thanks to his old age, infirmities, and passive nature. All it takes is to don a toupee, however, and Caleb gives way to Lester (Stern, again), an alter ego that’s confident, calculating...and murderous. Made in 1975 but not released until seven years later, this gory goodie co-stars Robin Sherwood, Richard Kennedy, Jeremiah Beecher, Kay Neer. 85 min.
