Another zero budget from the master of disaster himself, Nick Millard brings us this 1987 eyesore of a 'gem' in the form of 'Butcher Knife' aka 'Doctor Bloodbath'. One thing that should be noted is that it's hard to determine is if this came before or after the Death Nurse movies because of the short amount of time between them being made--so it's anyone's guess. It's also unclear if the lead character is in fact Gordon from Death Nurse or is someone entirely different.
The movie follows the same basic formula of Millard's other movies involving "murderous orderlies", in which a doctor who works at an abortion clinic begins to kill off his patients. Much like with Millard's other works; we see the return of a lot of re-occurring actors regularly uses (such as Albert Eskinazi, Irmgard Millard, and Frances Millard), and the reuse of stock footage from his older works.
The movie is 60 minutes in length, but if you remove the padding (which there is a lot of in the form of stock footage (including from unrelated movies like Criminally Insane) and scenes being looped), the runtime might be about 40-45 minutes at best. Just like with Millard's previous works, there's nothing of significant interest or value; with the acting being abysmal (with the exception of the Gordon's patients who are honesty the best in the movie overall), and a terrifically bad display of special effects--which becomes apparent within the first 20 minutes of the movie with a particular scene.
1/10
