Tower of Blood

(Reviewed by Slaughterhouserock) - Ever since seeing Monty Python & the Holy Grail so many years ago, I've had a liking for the name Tim.  As any who have seen that film know, Tim was possibly one of the funniest names to pick for that character.  That's why I immediately think of the name Tim when trying to come up with a name for a character.  Well, I finally found a movie with similar tastes it seems.  This film is about a psycho named Timmy.

Timmy is an escaped mental patient.  The writers must have really wanted him to be a mix of Myers and Jason because, in all respects, Timmy tries his damnedest to be just like these two(though mainly Jason).  He's friggin' huge, walks real slow, wears a mask that one of the teens used earlier, and uses a machette as a weapon of choice.  He even does a double impalement which is a Jason staple.  Admittedly, this is one of those horror films made by horror fans so it's to be expected(I mean, they even hint at NOES early on in the film).  On to the plot...

This turned out to be a typical horny teens throw a party in an abandoned building and get killed slasher.  The guys are stereotypes and the women have big tits.  So, with that said, you basically know how the films runs for the first hour or so.

The only good death IMO is the first of the teens to die.  It's a girl by the name of Randy(and man was she ever....yeah, bad joke).  She goes off to take a piss and gets killed while doing so.  What's great is she uses a line very similar to the one in Killer Klowns from Outer Space.  "What're ya gonna do, cut my head off?"  And sure enough, he does.  Good stuff, too bad the rest of the film had nothing to offer.

The only time Jason...er, Timmy doesn't do the slow walk is towards the end when he's chasing after the three remaining teens.  He does something that I can only refer to as shumbling.  I don't know if that's a real word or not, but it's the only thing that fits.  The teens eventually find a crazy old woman sitting in a circle of candles.  This is Timmy's mom.  Turns out Timmy is killing because mommy tells him to.  She wants him to kill all the perverted teens who "violate their sacred place with their fornication"...sound familiar?  She is probably the best actor in the film.  She does this thing with her eyes that I find rather creepy...it gives new meaning to the term "shifty-eyed".

Nothing really momentous happens in this film at all.  As I said earlier, it's typical slasher fare.  In what is supposed to be the death of Timmy, we get to see the lone survivor pull a Corey Feldman, ala Friday the 13th part 4, using a pipe.  It's nowhere near as good as Feldman, but it shows that they're still trying to rip off, I mean, pay homage to the classic slashers.  Oh, and there's one final scene where they try and trick you into thinking everything's ok, but they failed in doing so.  They're never behind the curtain anymore, it's expected of them to be behind the person after they open said curtain.  I give it a two outta five.  It's low budget, but not quite low enough for my tastes.
