Psychic visions, chains, and a sword—Tina Krause's bargain basement Hitchcock fever dream.
Allison Carter (Tina Krause) is a psychic who can experience the last few hours of a person’s life by just touching them. She literally takes their place and experiences exactly what they did. In “The Laughing Strangler”, a friend (Pamela Sutch) is murdered and Allison learns who the killer is. But he captures her and she finds herself chained to a table and about to be sliced in half with a sword. Will she be rescued in time? Also starring Laura Giglio and G W Lawrence and introducing Tony Bork as “The Laughing Strangler.” In “The Hypnotized Model”, Allison tries to save her friend Karen (Vanessa Carlton) from a photographer (Dean Paul) who hypnotizes his subjects and then takes revealing photos of them. Will Allison and Karen find themselves sold into white slavery?
