Huston’s career took one of its most dramatic left turns with this sci-fi-inflected psychological horror movie, a Canadian production starring Paul Michael Glaser of Starsky & Hutch. After a Toronto-based psychiatrist (Glaser) recruits a handful of jailed criminals for an experimental clinical study on the treatment of phobias, his patients start getting killed off, à la Se7en, by means modeled after their fears.
