Marc B. RayScream Bloody Murder (1973)

A disturbed boy kills his father with his farm tractor and his arm is mangled in the process. He's taken to a mental hospital where he's outfitted with a hook to replace his lost hand and, years later, he's eventually released from the asylum. He returns home to find his mother has remarried, which sets him off on a murderous rampage.

Subject: Bad Ronald on a Bum Trip
I feel like this film has been mis-categorized in the archive on the basis of its independent production --it's production values are so thoroughly exploitative psycho schlock it ranks for me right up there with the best of the boomlet of 'Bad Seed' drive-in features of the 70s. In all seriousness this film is one of a cache to be found here that the allow real insight into the amount of inanity which scriptwriters could be depended upon to dole out in place of medical treatment of psychological disorders.
This film could have simply turned out to be an early progenitor of Stephen King-type horror cliché; instead it commits to a remarkable (and no doubt career-destroying) portrayal of a psychotic boy subject to pronounced hallucinations and acting out of violent fantasy-based cruelty and punishment scenarios, all of which the viewer can see as well, albeit with a thoroughly titillating Freudian analysis, something which tragically can only be laboriously acted out by this hook handed "James at 15" reject to its inexorable cathectic conclusion...in a Catholic church (though he looked Protestant to me). The score is suitably far out and makes fabulously excessive use of the electro-stylus thingies and primitive pump organs that were extant.

No one leaves unentertained.
