La puerta forzada

This is a trashy film and will be of no appeal to most viewers, but what's interesting about it is that it would make a great companion piece to the notorious 1980 "Maniac". I don't know why anyone would want to watch THAT film in the first place, but it's hard not to notice the obvious similarities. Although far less graphic and bloody, "Forced Entry" also allows as to "share" the maniacal killer's warped worldview, and the depiction of his mind seems pretty accurate. There is a minimal amount of plot, but it's starkly directed, and this is also one of the few chances you'll have to see Tanya Roberts giving a halfway good performance. (**)
