Blind Date (1984)

A curious mess of a film. A deranged serial killer is incapacitating young women and practicing surgery on them. Meanwhile cocky advertising executive Jonathan (Joseph Bottoms), when he isn't sleeping with Kirstie Alley, is haunted by a girl called Rachel (Lana Clarkson) whom he once knew but lost contact with after a terrible incident in their past. Jonathan thinks he has found the girl in Athens but then he hits his head on a tree and is blinded.

(Mad) scientist (Keir Dullea) gives him the chance to "see" again using radar sensors hidden in a Walkman which feed into his brain. Although all he can "see" looks like an early 1970s video game, he is able to function again. He crosses paths with the serial killer, who has even disposed of Marina Sirtis, and begins a hunt for him. Can he catch him before the maniac kills Rachel?

Really this is two films, the amateur surgeon serial killer, and the story of how Jonathan loses and regains his sight. Both films are interesting, even pretty good. Unfortunately when they are put together it all becomes a bit of a mess. It is slash gore horror meets Tron, worth seeing mostly for curiosity value.
