Delirio

In "Killing Spree" an airplane mechanic becomes so convinced that his wife is as unfaithful to him that he launches an inventive and elaborate campaign to dispatch her numerous lovers,in the most violent,gory and repulsive ways imaginable.The bloody effects rank from pretty good to awful,but if you are a rabid gore fan you will love "Killing Spree".The gore is plentiful including the scene,where our hero rips open a man's belly with chainsaw and then electrocutes him through his exposed intestines.A couple of the kills are hilariously ludicrous and the scene in which the wife 'gives head' to her husband's best friend is unlike any horror film moment you've ever seen.The acting is unfirmly awful and the editing is bad,but if you enjoy watching low-budget gore flicks grab some beer and give "Killing Spree" a try.

I watched this movie a couple times so it can't be too bad.

It has it's moments and the dialog is very funny.

The main character Tom is a hoot, the stuff he says just cracks me up.

The gore is alright, the best being the old lady next door.

The characters are a riot, the TV repair man who's a karate expert?!?. The delivery man, acted like a real macho man, the lawn surfer dude and his van, haha.

There's no nudity and I think the main actor Tom says the F word once, after he drops a screwdriver on some dudes head.

Oh yeah that reminded me of a funny line "You screwed my wife, so I screwdrived your head". Ha.

The worst was the ending, it did't make any sense at all.

Also the very last shot of the movie, with Tom jumping up through the steps... what's up with that?

Overall though a funny and entertaining movie that I enjoyed.

If you don't mind no budget, terrible acting and effects, you will too.

If Killing Spree has one thing going for it, it would have to be the ingenious killing methods used throughout the movie. Where else can you find machete ceiling fans? Definitely for fans of low-budget 80's horror films that were really cheesy, yet very enjoyable. Utterly hilarious dialogue and over-the-top characters make this movie memorable. Interesting choices of camera angles and lighting effects.

Not everyone will "get" Killing Spree. I could see why someone would think this was a waste of a movie. It is not for everyone however, it is obviously for a small niche audience.

Fans should be aware that there are two DVD versions for Killing Spree on the market. The first one is a bare-bones unauthorized bootleg (the cheapo). The quality on it is okay, but there is no menu, scene selection, or anything else for that matter. The other version that recently came out from Sub Rosa is the official authorized DVD edition. It has a much nicer transfer and includes a great 90-minutes documentary/behind-the-scenes with an introduction from scream queen Debbie Rochon. Also included are two feature-length audio commentaries with director Tim Ritter on the first one. The second audio commentary is with Asbetos Felt, Joel D. Wynkoop and R.M. Hoopes.

KILLING SPREE is a low-budget horror flick that was shot on 16mm film. The intent of this movie is not to give you a brilliant story, although this one does have a good twist and some radical zombies returning from the dead at the end. No, the whole reason for its existence is to showcase outrageous "splatter effects" that were so popular in the '80s. While they may not be top-of-the-line, they do hold a special place for fans of this genre. Within KILLING SPREE you will find some of the most creative "kill sequences" ever committed to celluloid! Not since DAWN OF THE DEAD has there been so much over-the-top humor and glee in showcasing this kind of phony gore. So take it for what it is. If you're a fan of movies like BAD TASTE, PINK FLAMINGOS, and BLOOD FEAST, you will appreciate KILLING SPREE.

This is a classic 80's horror flick. Cool gore from Joel Harlow, who is now a big time FX artist. The DVD looks great and I am happy to see it availible for a new generation of gore fans. It has everything a fan wants from a Tim Ritter movie: good story(humorous) and good gore.
