Everything about Rampage Film totally explained
Rampage is a 1988 movie directed by
William Friedkin. It was filmed in
Stockton, California in 1986.
Synopsis
Alex McArthur plays a
serial killer named Charlie Reece, who commits a number of brutal mutilation-slayings in order to drink
blood as a result of
paranoid delusions.
Reece is soon captured; Most of the movie revolves around the trial and the
prosecutor's attempts to have Reece found
sane and given the
death penalty.
Defense lawyers, meanwhile, argue that the defendant is
not guilty by reason of insanity.
The prosecutor, Anthony Fraser (played by
Michael Biehn), was previously against capital punishment but seeks such a penalty in the face of Reece's brutal crimes after meeting one victim's grieving family.
In the end, Reece is found sane and given the death penalty, but Fraser's internal debate about capital punishment is rendered academic when Reece is found to be insane by a scanning of his brain for
mental illness.
Influences
Charlie Reece is loosely based on the real-life serial killer
Richard Chase.The crimes Reece commits are slightly different from those that Chase committed, however; Reece kills three women, a man and a young boy, while Chase killed two men, two women, a young boy and a 22-month-old baby. Additionally, Reece escapes at one point, murdering two guards and later a
priest, which Chase didn't do in real life. However, Reece and Chase were similar in that they both had a history of mental illness and an obsession with drinking blood. Like Reece, Chase was also sentenced to death but committed
suicide before the sentence could be carried out.
