I liked it quite a bit, although not really a horror / psycho film. The basic story is about a young man who has been in a coma since childhood. When he comes out of it he has to be trained to become a man and not a child. He learns quickly, but naturally having the mind of a child in the body of a man causes things to go wrong, and he escapes and goes out on his own, only to be hunted down. Robert Vaughn is quite good in it, as are Terrance Stamp and Nigel Davenport. Definitely worth a look.

I thought it was very good right up until the end when, apparently at a loss for a climax, it more or less turned into Frankenstein. But up to that point thoroughly engrossing.
