This monster who literally pulls the hearts out of his victims as part of his sadistic ritual, will stop at nothing. Rogue cops Abraham (Curt Dawson) and Mayer (Ronald Tanet) are hot on his trail and go undercover on the seedy side of Bourbon Street to find the vicious killer before he strikes again. Jack Weis (Quadroon, Crypt of Dark Secrets) wrote and directed this cult classic was banned in the U.K. due to the film's excessive and graphic violence.
