[edit] Plot
Thanks to a major power cut, a gang of psychopaths breaks out of the Haven maximum security mental institute in order to lay siege to the psychiatrists who have tormented them over the years with their bizarre theories. Then the gang go to the shopping centre and buy a ring, which they give to the prettiest girl there, making her fall in love with one of them. They go to get married, however the twist is that the guy bites her head off instead of kissing her.
