One piece of advice rent b4 you buy.

Like I say rent b4 you buy, you might like it i know i didnt AT ALL.Movie Review: They don't come much worse than this...
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a huge horror fan, and over the last few months I've been mowing through a backlog of exploitation and slasher flicks from the 70s and 80s, sometimes finding a few gems and other times a stinker. If a movie offers some decent gore and suspense (gratuitous nudity doesn't hurt), I'll usually forgive narrative lapses, bad acting, eye-rolling dialogue, etc. So when I rented "Slumber Party Massacre" and the gorehound at the video store recommended "The Toolbox Murders," I was pretty excited, especially after watching the trailer and seeing it was loaded with hot naked chicks. This one could be a classic, I thought!
Boy, was I ever wrong.
"The Toolbox Murders" fails on almost every level. The first 30 minutes or so feature about 4-5 murders in rapid succession with drill bits, a hammer, etc. These scenes are pretty poorly shot and most of the carnage happens off screen and is shown with blood splattering the masked killer. Tom Savini clearly didn't have anything to do with this one. There is some decent nudity, especially a bubble bath [...] death by nailgun scene. At this point, I figure that "The Toolbox Murders" is going to be a fun little sleazefest.
And then the movie just stops dead in its tracks when the killer is revealed and about an hour of the movie focuses on a girl he's kidnapped. This is when things go completely south. The toolbox murders at this point are over, and "The Toolbox Murders" turns into the cheesiest, most boring psycho-drama you've ever seen. The acting is abysmal; seriously some of the worst performances I've ever witnessed. There are two more murders, but neither are anything worth writing home about and one occurs entirely offscreen. There is no more nudity. We just have bad actors sitting in cheeseball 70s locales and delivering exposition that nobody cares about.
I've got a high tolerance for this kind of movie, but "The Toolbox Murders" was so inept and unforgivably boring that I considered turning it off about halfway through, and seriously regret renting it.
Movie Review: The Toolbox Murders
Summary: 1 Stars
Based on what true story? the film is just shock for the pure sake of shock kind of a seventies saw minus the gore,the movie has it's moments but it belongs where it came from,It also apparently has a bone to pick with fundamentalism.I saw the remake first which is Ultra-Violent and an improvement if you can call it that, but both films are garbage and disturbing,I'll stick with my watered down horror flicks and leave the ultra violent stuff elsewhere.
