Synopsis
Médecin respecté et charitable le jour, le docteur Denis Orloff se transforme en tueur en série sanguinaire la nuit, poignardant de jeunes femmes dans les rues de Whitechapel. Abusé par sa propre mère prostituée lorsqu'il était enfant, Orloff tue, éviscère et mutile les filles de petite vertu dans une serre exotique. Surnommé « Jack l'éventreur » par la rumeur publique, son secret morbide est seulement connu par Flora, l'une de ses anciennes patientes, qui l'aide à se débarrasser des cadavres en les jetant dans la Tamise. À travers toutes ses filles de joie assassinées, il cherche à anéantir le souvenir de cette figure maternelle indigne et immorale.Actors

Julie (Marianna Hill) is an advice columnist for the city newspaper who begins to receive anonymous notes threatening murder and worse. At about the same time, female members of the group therapy session she attends are being stabbed, one by one, by an unknown assailant. Is there a connection? If so, why do the notes talk about murder with a gun, while the murder victims are being stabbed? At first, the police, her ex-husband, her therapist and her friends all assure her that the notes are probably unrelated, and hoax; but with time, it becomes apparent that someone close to her is responsible. Is it her therapist, Pieter (Klaus Kinski), who has sex with his patients just before they are murdered? Or Pieter's daughter (Donna Wilkes), who resents Julie for Julie's romantic involvement with Pieter? Is it Julie's ex-husband (Craig Wasson), who never really wanted their divorce? Or maybe Gilbert (Christopher Lloyd), the eccentric building maintenance man?

Karl pricks his finger with a sharp object, and smears an inscribed bullet with his blood and loads it into a revolver. He points the gun to his head and the gun clicks. He puts the gun down and says: "So be it.
