Movie Reviews of Luther the Geek
Movie Review: A very interesting and dark indepenent horror flick.
Summary: 5 Stars
A man named Luther once had a bad childhood when he witnessed a real freak eating live chicken heads and he grows up to become a maniac that talks like a Chicken and has razor-sharp metal dentures that can rip people's flesh apart. After murdering an old lady outside of a grocery store, he stowaway's in a woman's car and takes her hostage inside of a farmhouse as her daughter must try to save her including her boyfriend.
Violent and maniacal low budget horror thriller that works on many levels with an interesting and original storyline. The acting is kinda bad but hey! what B-movie doesn't? Director Cartlon J. Albright ("The Children") has succeeded in making a cult favorite that has been re-issued by Troma.
This DVD contains fair picture and sound with extras like introduction by Troma creator Lloyd Kaufman, interview with the director, Troma TV clip, Troma Trailers, "Make Your Own Damn Movie" in a Box ad and Radioation March short.

Summary of Luther the Geek
A young country boy is plunged into the depths of homicidal madness after witnessing the strange exploits of a carnival "geek", a caged drunk so desperate for whiskey that he bites the heads off of live chickens in front of a freak show audience. 30 years later, Luther is all grown up and out on parole after spending his childhood behind bars for a series of grisly murders. Armed with a pair of razor-sharp metal dentures and only able to communicate through chicken clucks, Luther starts his bloody rampage anew as he terrorizes the citizens of a small town and takes a young mother and her family hostage in their isolated farmhouse. Featuring one of the most intense endings ever put on film, Luther the Geek is good gory fun in the splatter flick tradition of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Toxic Avenger!DVD Features
