Schizoid (1980)



Released sometime in September of 1980 in the US.
Filmed in California.
The story: Julie is a writer. She has recently begun writing an advice column for the local newspaper she writes for.
She attends a therapy group to understand people and their problems more, which helps her column along as well as dealing with her up and coming divorce.
Julie has the hots for Pieter, the doctor conducting the therapy group.
Pieter also really digs Julie but he has a teenage daughter that is making things behind the scenes difficult for him, due to her mother/his wife passing early.
Pieter finds that his daughter is distraught, distant, and holding a grudge against him which makes him believe she is up to something sinister.
It doesn't help matters that there is a killer running around, sending Julie scary notes and killing off the women in her therapy group.
