Essentially this was the brainchild of Lee Taylor who wrote, produced,
edited and directed the film. He is also responsible for all the music
(an impressive collection of '70s funk and acid jazz which is - unfortunately
- better than the movie itself).
The film is a B-Movie nightmare telling the story of an angry
black man named Lee, imprisoned after killing a white husband who interrupted
Lee's tryst with his wife. This black man meets a white guy name Harold
and the two break out of prison aided by girlfriend Ann. This little gang
robs a liquor store - killing the clerk - before invading the home a middle-class
family. Once inside, Lee kills the daughter's boyfriend and bring new
terror to the father, wife and daughter (played by porn starlet Eve Orlon).
