Deadly Games (1982)

A rather creepy psychological thriller though let down by a strange ending.

After a young woman is killed by a masked assailant, her sister Keegan (Jo Ann Harris) comes to town and find out what is going on, but she also gets attacked by the masked man. 

Keegan dates the local police detective (Sam Groom) but he also is friends with a very strange man (Steve Railsback) who works at the theatre...

When there is action it is fine but unfortunately there is an industrial helping of filler between these scenes. The film is also rather confusing at times with some of Keegan's actions hard to understand and frequently annoying. The identity of the killer is also pretty obvious early on robbing the film of a lot of suspense.
