Plot

The film begins with Adrian Wilde living his life as a photographer. Everything seems normal until he stumbles upon a dead body, and takes a picture of it. This sparks a dark deep fetish Wilde has had since he saw his first dead body washed up at the local watering hole he used to play around as a child. This leads Wilde to spiral into a murderous rampage to sustain his lust for the two things he loves most: murdering unsuspecting attractive women and photography. This leads to a cat and mouse chase between the police, Lt. Luther Jacoby and Sgt. Sid Collins. In the end, Wilde is finally caught as he is about to maim and consume his victim. The two officers are heralded as heroes.
