About Schizophreniac: The Whore Mangler
A murderous drug addict driven insane by the demonic voice of his evil ventriloquist dummy sets out on a gore-soaked killing spree in this independent shocker from director Ron Atkins. Insanity is calling and Harry Russo is more than happy to answer by slicing, dicing, filleting and splaying anyone who gets in the way of his quest to achieve a state of complete mental chaos. Harry is not alone on his journey of destruction though, and as his villainous ventriloquist dummy offering a bit of immoral support, the stage is set for some serious bloodletting!
Directed by Ron Atkins, Schizophreniac: The Whore Mangler leans on a strong ensemble — John Giancaspro, Jasmine Putnam, J. Breck Brown — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1997.
