Killing Spree (1987)
Member Rating:  
A virtually plotless excuse for an interminable parade of repulsive (and amateurish) gore effects, this movie's psycho-killer scenario involves the manic antics of the oddly-named Asbestos Felt as he acts on the jealous delusion that his wife is engaged in affairs with their neighbors, friends, family, guests, handymen, and so on. The sadistic and splattery murders are presented amid hallucinogenic flashes of light, as if to signal to gorehounds where to pay close attention. Assorted depravities include decapitation, TV-set electrocution and dismemberment by lawn mower. The climax is stolen from the notorious Joe Spinell sleazefest Maniac -- a film which, though thoroughly disgusting in its own right, is far slicker-looking than this serving of direct-to-video tripe. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

This movie is low budget to say the least. Some decent gore effects and a lot of really awful ones too (the punk chick's head? Boo-urns). Terrible acting, except Asbestos - I actually liked him. This movie definitely was inspired by Maniac (the last 20 minutes anyway). Oh yeah, and the entire music score was done with a crappy synthesizer.

I actually liked this movie. It's as low budget as it gets and the acting is so bad that its funny. I saw it back in the 80's when it first came out. If you like this one, theres another one by the same guy called Truth or Dare.

If you're a fan of 80's horror gore than you'll like this one. I never seen anything like a scene during one part of the movie not to mention, just flipped me out and was off the hook. I liked it.
