10 to Midnight

10 to Midnight stars Charles Bronson as Leo Kessler, a hard as nails detective. Kessler is on a one man hunt for a man who is killing women. He will stop at nothing to get his man, including planting evidence.

Warran Stacey (Gene Davis) is the naked man. He has a unique signature style for his murders. Naked and with a handy knife, he dispatches beautiful women who have resisted his charms.

This movie has a few tricky moments. I thought for sure Stacey was going to kill a beautiful movie patron who he hits on incessantly. However, he is just establishing an obnoxious aliby so he can kill the woman of his obsession. While his movie plays, he sneaks out of the bathroom and takes care of business.

Leo's daughter is the beautiful Nurse Laurie Kessler played by Lisa Eilbacher of Beverly Hills Cop fame. By chance, she is acquainted with one of the murder victims and helps daddy identify Stacey. Stacy is now after revenge and begins to stalk Laurie.

Uh oh! Now Kessler is totally miffed and is stalking Stacy to the point of harassment and evidence planting. this cat and mouse game continues until the bloody climax.

A symphony of psycho synthesizer music tracks this film. Though filmed in 1983, Bronson drags in the 70's kicking and screaming to give this a totally un 80's feel. Look for appearances by Wilford Brimley (the oatmeal guy), Kelly Preston, and Andrew Stevens.

10 to Midnight is rated R for violence, gore, and nudity.
