DESTROYER

Ivan Moser (Lyle Alzado) is a serial killer who has been convicted of the rape, torture, and murder of 23 people. Moser is given the death penalty by electrocution. At his execution, he boasts of having killed 24 people. A power outage caused by a riot prevents the execution, but Moser receives a jolt of electricity before the power fails. The prison staff assumes that Moser is killed during the riot, but he manages to escape. The prison subsequently is abandoned. Moser lives within the abandoned prison with the assistance of his father, who had been employed as a guard. Eighteen months later, a film crew arrives at the prison to shoot an exploitation film entitled Death House Dolls. Two of the crew are the main characters, Susan (a stunt performer) and David (a screenwriter). They discover that Moser survived his electrocution due to an unusual genetic gift. The jolt of electrical energy made him "half-alive", leaving him in a feral state and granting him spontaneous regeneration.

Moser survives his electrocution due to an unusual genetic gift; the electrical jolt leaves him 'half-alive' and capable of spontaneous regeneration, putting the film crew in deadly peril.

The ending reveals that Moser’s survival is not just luck but the result of a genetic anomaly, turning him into a nearly unstoppable threat. His new, feral state raises the stakes for the film crew, blurring the line between slasher fiction and reality within the prison’s haunted walls.
