The Fear Chamber

Some guy is performing a vivisection on a girl. Other girls are chained elsewhere in the facility. Some lame cop arrives, the guy escapes, the cop chases him. On the roof the bad guy manages to stab a knife in the cop's heart.

Later the cop is recovering from a heart transplant. Of course he doesn't want to just get well, he wants to get the bad guy now. Helping him is the forensic pathologist who discovers some interesting bits of info here and there based on evidence found on the discovered body parts.

At a bar he meets a psychic who wants to help. She appears here and there without notice and always having some advanced knowledge of something. At some point he has yet another chance to catch the bad guy but again he escapes. Eventually the captain of course takes the cops badge and gun. That seems to be a daily occurrence at police precincts--only in the movies. We learn that the bad guy is actually a physician who removes organs. But he's also a little wacky as we learn when the cop eventually confronts him. Then we learn not just what the crazy doc is up to but also what is going on with the psychic and the cop.

The Fear Chamber starts out pretty good with a gritty gory scene with some nudity but then it turns into a low budget cop thriller. The main cast is good, with Tyson standing out in the role of the bad guy, whom we don't see enough though. The guy playing the cop and the captain are alright. The story is good when it comes the the explanation of the evil actions and the explanation of the more supernatural elements surrounding the cop. Unfortunately the movie is hampered by the low budget, cheesy sets, slow story development, and the inability to give us some more horror, gore, nudity.
