B P @Bradster69 2 days ago Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Henry D. @radiocrimes Feb 8, 2026 Def a rip off of Texas chainsaw 1 and 2. Does some cool stuff different highly recommend See more Jul 10, 2022 For the most part it's a rip off of the Texas chainsaw massacre. But it does add some comedy. See more Jun 4, 2022 This movie has gone hog wild!! See more Oct 29, 2021 "You won't feel a thing; we do things kosher!" A slaughterhouse goes out of business and is foreclosed on. In order to prevent repossession, the owner tells his giant of a son to kill anyone who comes on the property. The son, being on the spectrum misinterprets his father's words, goes on a killing spree, cleaving and axing anyone near the abattoir. One highlight is when Lennie assumes the role of the deputy in his pursuit of more human meat. A lot of dialogue, some pretty funny in this comedic slasher. See more Feb 26, 2018 That was actually a really fun lost slasher. Can't believe I've missed this all these years. Awesomely cheesy 80s music, likeable characters, and a couple interesting antagonists. Nothing original, but it's quite fun. See more Read all reviews
