This little oddity from the bowels of the UK tells the story of a chainsaw welding maniac as he breaks into the house of some teenagers just screwing around and ruins their good time; a fairly simple and generic concept that claims to have been influenced by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Given how brief it is, there isn't a lot to critique in terms of face value.
Plot: The premise is simple, and again, fairly generic for the decade and sub-genre of SOV. I have a feeling if this ended up being a 60 minute movie (at the very least) it could have had the potential to make a stronger impression.
Visual/Sound: In terms of technical aspects, they're not the best and sink to the bottom with others of the time like "The Bloody Video Horror That Made Me Puke on My Aunt Gertrude", "Nekro", and "Blood Lake"--especially the former. Visually, it can be a little hard to see how good the special effects could have been, and the sound is hard to make out.
Special Effects: This ties into the technical aspects of things. Because the lighting and quality of the film is gritty and tough, it's a little tough to make out the violence. You can see things as they happen, but the true "money shot" isn't clear. So if you want to get in on some true blood and guts action, you might not find it here.
Overall: If you want to watch a solid SOV with great acting, good sound quality, and "goregous" special effects, then this isn't the movie for you. However, if you're looking for something over the top ridiculous that doesn't take itself seriously, then check this one out. I know I had fun with it.
5/10
