A middle-aged beautiful woman is taking a shower, and her husband is shaving outside the bathroom. Suddenly a killer holding a razor rushes out, and Katie wakes up from her dream. Katie's remarried life bored her, her husband Mike was cold and indifferent, and her son Peter was a scientific genius, busy participating in science competitions all day long. Katie came to her psychiatrist Eliot and told him her distress. She was worried about her charm and even teased Eliot, who solemnly rejected her. Katie came to the exhibition hall to relax and met a man. After the two were silently provocative, Katie followed him into a taxi. The impatient and lonely Katie melted in the man's enthusiasm. In the middle of the night, Katie woke up, although she was also surprised by her frivolous behavior, but she did not regret this passionate encounter. Katie left a message to the man who hadn't woken up on the bed: "I'm very happy this afternoon", and then suddenly found the man's venereal disease diagnosis on the desk, panicked Katie hurried out of the room. In a panic, Katie found that she hadn't got her wedding ring, and hurried back to her room to get it, but was killed by a blonde woman with a razor in the elevator. A blond girl and a man saw this bloody murder. Eliot went home late at night and heard in the answering machine that Buck, who claimed to be his patient, said that he took Eliot's razor and killed a woman, and another message was that the police station wanted him to go. Eliot met Katie's family at the police station, and the sheriff asked him to provide a list of his patients to facilitate investigations. Eliot refused in the name of protecting the privacy of the patients. Peter heard the news and started plotting to find the murderer of his mother. The blonde prostitute Black could not find the client that night to testify for herself, and was threatened by the police to find evidence for herself. Peter installed an automatic camera at the entrance of the psychology clinic to take pictures of all the patients entering and exiting the clinic, hoping to find the "blonde woman". Black went to pick up the guests again and was followed by the blonde assassin. In the end, Peter, who also followed her, saved his life. When Black called the police, she was threatened by the police to steal Eliot's case file. Eliot learns that Levy, the new doctor who is going to find Buck, asks him to help him find Buck.
One thunderstorm night, Blake came to Eliot for "treatment", and Peter was watching outside. Blake used his own charm to steal Elliott's patient record, but when she returned to the treatment room, the blonde assassin suddenly appeared in the dark room. Peter was about to rush in to rescue him, but was hugged tightly by a black shadow behind him. Just as the blond assassin held the razor high, the black shadow behind Peter suddenly shot the assassin. It turns out that the blonde assassin is an identity of the schizophrenic Eliot, and the black figure behind Peter is the policewoman Lucy sent to protect Black and Peter. Everything became clear, Eliot was sent to a mental hospital to wait for trial, Peter's stepfather Mike was on a business trip, and he invited Blakeley to live in his own home. Another night, Elliott killed the coquettish nurse. Blake was taking a shower, and a shadow appeared outside the bathroom. She was frightened and wanted to resist, but finally a razor slashed to her face. Blake woke up from his dream and held his head in horror with Peter.

Behind the scenes production
"The film was adapted by Brian De Palma based on Gerald Walker's novel "Cruising"" in 1970. The film has a strong psychoanalytic color. From the psychologist and schizophrenic Eliot, we can vaguely see the Greek The shadow of Ou Kirk’s classic work "The Mentally Ill." In "Razor Edge", in addition to the bathroom killings in "The Mentally Ill" which was reproduced by a famous director many times, Brian De Palma also added many fashion elements, including from time to time. The nude scenes, Freudian dreams, and the sharp razor. It is precisely because of these nude and bloody violent scenes that the film was so controversial that it was almost classified as X-rated by the American Motion Picture Association. But "Razor Edge" "Still, with its gripping rhythm and serial structure, it has a place in the horror film of the mentally ill. The heroine of the film, Angie Dickinson, won the Saturn Best Actress Award for this film."
