Something of a male version of Repulsion, about a boys' Phys. Ed. teacher, played by a physically fit and emotionally taut Tab Hunter, whose skin starts to crawl whenever a member of the opposite sex gets close, hot, and familiar. The narrative runs along sadly worn paths, and, in any case, the game is given away much too early when Hunter accidentally snuffs out his first would-be seductress. Still, the direction by Curtis Hanson is surprisingly downbeat and under control; the suspense-building is managed quite skillfully; and there is at times an authentically oppressive sense of everyday tawdriness about the characters and their cravings.
