Fatal Delusion

w/Slipcover

Deranged Vietnam vet David Kates (Sal Longo) suffers from flashbacks of the atrocities he endured during the war; savagely murdering and mutilating innocent brunette women who resemble the enemy Major who tortured his brigade. Shortly after being captured and imprisoned for his crimes, Kates escapes from prison, murders his vacationing jailhouse shrink, and assumes his identity. Now masquerading as a psychologist, Kates infiltrates the police department and offers his assistance in helping to capture the escaped serial killer who’s dismembering local women. Unfortunately for the police, the doctor they’re collaborating with is the actual lunatic they’re in search of…and his delusion means death for everyone! 

A gory, mean spirited SOV slasher epic from New Jersey’s “custom movie” purveyors W.A.V.E. Productions, Fatal Delusion marked the first ever on screen performances from legendary scream queens Tina Krause (Limbo, Bad Biology) and Deana Demko (The Ironbound Vampire, Sorority Slaughter) plus supporting appearances by Laura Giglio (An Ex-Hookers Christmas Carol), Dawn Murphy (Backwoods Marcy), Clancy McCauley (Dead North), and Michelle Caporaletti (Hung Jury). Notable for featuring murder scenes shot in the hallways and courtyards of NJ’s Chiller Theatre and Baltimore’s Fanex conventions back in 1994, Fatal Delusion presents a staggering analog panorama of bathtub autopsies, chainsaw disembowelings, incessant shower scenes, puffy neon fashions, and entrail toilet flushing.
