(Reviewed by Slaughterhouserock) - Let me start off by
saying that the guy who made this wonderfully idiotic piece of shit is the
man responsible for Terror Toons. Personally, I love Terror Toons, so
I expected another romp through madness with Joe Castro's newest
flick...man, was I ever wrong.
Now if you're into films about drugs and the effects of said drugs, then you
might actually enjoy this film. I can't stand them though, so I found
the whole plot extremely boring and pointless. If you wanna see a guy
having drug-induced paranoia, crying about how he needs another fix, and
getting beat up by drug dealers, then there's several better films to watch.
The only difference between those films and this one is that the main
character starts killing people using a portable jackhammer.
The film follows the life of Jack(very creative name there guys )
who has it all. He's rich, has a nice car, and a good job. The
problem? He likes his drugs. He goes to buy some with his junkie
buddy and this is where his problems begin. The dealer gets him hooked
on some new drug called "glass" that is so "good" that
it kills his friend. To top off his friend dying, his car was stolen
while he was going to buy the drugs and he soon gets fired for not going to
work because he was too busy getting fucked up. This whole scene is
actually a flashback that happens after the first kill(jackhammer to the
face) and takes about half an hour. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind
flashbacks, but this is supposed to be a slasher film. The back of the
dvd box even says "Move over Leatherface...Here comes 'the Jackhammer
Massacre'!" So I'm beginning to wonder where's the killing?
Once we get caught up on why this guy's hooked on drugs(like we really give
a fuck), it finally goes into him losing it. He starts having
delusions and seeing his dead friend all the time who tells him to kill
people. So, thinking that everyone is out to get him, Jack pulls out
his jackhammer and proceeds to kill all who enter his wharehouse. The
only person he doesn't kill right-off is his sister who shows up to try and
get him to go to a hospital. He ties her up and locks her in some
room.
Now, I was expecting all sorts of gore and plenty of goofy death scenes.
The gore wasn't all that great. There wasn't even that much of it.
For a cheesy slasher film that claims to be better than TCM, they did a
pretty shitty job with the deaths. The only one worth noting was when
Jack kills his sister's girlfriend(gratuitous lesbianism?) with a jackhammer
to the ass. Ah, that was the only humorous moment in the film.
The rest of the film is just pointless drug-induced shit from Jack and the
occasional killing. Oh, and the end is very predictable and not
original in the least.
So in conclusion, stay away from this one unless you're desperate to follow
the career of Joe Castro, like movies about people on drugs, or love cheese
as much as I do. The gore was almost non-existent, the acting was
horrendous, the camerawork sub-par(has not improved from Terror Toons), and
the plot is fucking ridiculous. I gave it a 1 outta 5. Not worth
the 10 bucks I paid for it.
