A few years in the past, Jeff Ashton (David G. Cannon), Doctor Ray Sanders (John Crawford), “Mad Man” Herman (Marvin Kaplan) and Ted Rogers (Ray Dannis), among others, were caught in a cave-in. With the prospect of survival seeming zero, they agreed — well, everyone except the victim — to cut off Ted’s arm and eat it.
Now, Jeff has just received an arm in the mail and “Mad Man” is killed on the air during his radio show, his arm amputated by a crazy killer. With the help of Ted’s daughter Teddy (Deborah Walley), they look for Ted, who is missing. But ah — she’s been working with her Uncle Roger (Bob Guthrie) to lure Jeff into a trap where he’ll have to eat his own arm to live!
The lesson of this movie: Never trust the mail when it’s delivered by Angus Scrimm.
Directed by Thomas S. Alderman, who wrote the story with Darrel Presnell (from a story by Marc B. Ray and Larry Alexander and additional dialogue by Kelly Estill), this is a grimy thriller that has cannibalism at its heart.
