Overview

Set in the seedy underbelly of late-1960s Greenwich Village, Two Girls for a Madman follows dance students Toni and Sonya as their pursuit of ballet artistry takes a dark turn. After the unstable Frank Yeager spots the alluring Toni at a bizarre back-room orgy, his obsession quickly escalates. Frank’s fixation leads him to stalk Toni, infiltrate her life, and eventually discover her friend Sonya. As Frank’s predatory interest deepens, the dance school becomes a stage for his twisted desires. Loaded with the hallmarks of exploitation cinema, this film blends the world of aspiring dancers with the looming menace of a relentless pursuer.
