Hooker with a Hacksaw

Kasper Meltedhair is the best new scream queen to come along since the glory days of Linnea Quigley and Brinke Stevens, and HOOKER WITH A HACKSAW is her masterpiece.

Right, well when I sat down to watch this 2017 movie, I was somehow certain that this was most likely going to be a stinker. But still, I believe in giving a movie a chance, so I sat down to watch "Hooker with a Hacksaw".

I should say that I hadn't checked out the movie on IMDb prior to sitting down to watching it. So I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.

Well, I endured 15 minutes of absolute horrible movie, let's just call it as it is. This movie was abysmal, pure and simple. However does movies like this still manage to come around and see the light of day.

The story, well from what I managed to see at least, was uneventful and boring. And it didn't help that the characters were downright lousy and pointless. And topping it off with questionable acting performances wasn't really helping the movie either.

This was a low budget and amateurish movie, no doubt about it. But I am sure that the people involved were having fun making it and seeing their project come to life. However, when I sit down to watch a movie, I expect it to be a proper movie, and not something shot on a home camera, that I could just as easily have made myself.

15 minutes into the ordeal known as "Hooker with a Hacksaw" and I quit. And there is a snowballs chance in Hell that I am returning to finish watching the movie.

Everyone involved in this should be ashamed of themselves. For starters it looks like it was shot on a first gen cell phone camera. To add to the terrible shot quality, someone with even a passing knowledge of lighting could have done eons better than incoherent mess. The editing was a beyond minimal, there wasn't even an attempt to color grade the footage. This truly looks like a film that was made in a couple hours... There is not a single redeeming quality in this film, nothing. Everyone involved in this film should truly seek another line of work, it's that bad. If this was submitted to a High School Film School it would be below average, i'm not exaggerating. Just horrible

At 70 minutes, it's about an hour longer than it needs to be.

First we had Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) and now we have Hooker with a Hacksaw, I can confidently say one is considerably better than the other.

The plot is *Drumroll* about a hooker with a hacksaw! A young telephone sex worker who loses her mind and sets about as a vigilante.

This is about as low budget as they come, therefore it looks cheap, it sounds cheap, it is cheap. But that's fine, I don't judge films on such things as filmmakers can only work with what they have available.

The reason for the low rating has got nothing to do with that, it's all about the overall quality and that's really bad. The acting is year 1 film school level, the script is 4th grade English and plot is a disheveled mess.

In fact to be brutally honest there is no plot, there is no story, it's just an absolute abomination and I'm not sure who it'll appeal to.

Cheap, weird, nasty.

The Good:

Interesting lead

The Bad:

Painfully bad acting

Cringe inducing script

Amateurish editing

Pretty much everything else
