Olivia (AKA: Double Jeopardy; Prozzie etc.) (1983) 
A lot better than I thought it would be, this isn't exactly a 'slasher' as such, but more a psychological thriller wrapped in the trappings of a romantic drama concerning a young woman trying to live her life of drudgery one day at a time whilst at the same time channeling her murdered prostitute mother who died at the hands of one of her clients and which the young Olivia was witness to.
Prozzie exhibits shadows of Polanski's
Repulsion among other things and is grim and desperate in tone but also well shotand tinged with a kind of melancholic hopefulness. Performances are also very good all round, especially Olivia played by Suzanna Love. This one is certainly worth checking out and for me one of the more surprising hi-lights of 88's 'slasher' line.
