The film deals with the story of Jack's super-daughter, the murderer of a notorious series, a mysterious girl. That girl saw her father kill her mother when she was a child, as it appears that the killing wave inside her ostensibly has been brought up by her late father's spirit, and now she embarks on a random killing wave.
Anna's savage acts of violence are provoked by a flash of light and a kiss: Symbols of the most desirable of gifts -- enlightenment and affection -- that here become triggers for perversion.
This latter-day offering from Hammer Films ratchets up the gore, but thankfully not at the expense of an engrossing tale that embeds its psychological context in a series of effective set-pieces.
What's actually here is a fascinating psychological chiller that's artfully made on a low budget, trusting the power of performance to carry a heavy workload of exposition and suspense.
