Handyman from Hell

Pretty good thriller. Maggie needs a contractor to fix up her kitchen. Enter Nate, a cute handyman with a hidden agenda who she ends up letting do the work. But her brother, Michael, is suspicious since Nate doesn't advertise online or have a social media presence with the last name he gave them. Uh-oh, that can't be good! Still. Maggie is split up from her husband and starts to fantasize about Nate and she needs someone new, exciting, and young in her life. Nate starts to grow on her and she lets him spend the night. That can't be good and it isn't. Nate is up to no good and has a devious plan. But why is he targeting her and can she stop him? This was a good watch and recommended!!!

This first thing to know is this was a low budget film and was independently created. That said, it was very entertaining and I jumped more than once. Yes there were bits of gaps but considering the construct of the project I was impressed. The story line wasn't bad at all. Kudos to the whole team!

Handyman from hell was a fun take on revenge in suburbia. Watching the film premiere with cast and crew on zoom offered the insider's perspective and filled in a couple gaps. They did a great job and I can't wait for the promised sequel because they learned a lot I'm sure and it's only going to get better from here!

This movie sucks. It's got horrible acting, incredibly bad writing, and forgettable direction.

If you're looking for Jodie Sweetin, keep on moving, as she's only in this wretched film for 4 minutes.

The handyman killer isn't an interesting character. There's no rhyme or reason for his murders. He just kills when he's done with people, or when they've pissed him off. When you do find out why he's on his little murderous tantrum, you don't really care. He's a very low rent Jason copycat. He's an unimaginative killer, considering all of the tools he has at his disposal. Being a contractor, he could've had so many cool ways to off his victims, and he basically leaves so many awesome ideas literally on the drawing board.

Please don't waste your valuable time on this horrible "movie". It was made for less than 250k and it shows. I love a good low budget film, because they usually come up with unique plot/storylines. This is NOT one of them. Watch a good (smart) murder mystery on Acorn if you want a small challenge and a laugh. For gore, go old school. Leave this dreck in the wind. Trust me.

The acting was a mixed bag. I think all the female actors were pretty good. I loved to see my fave Jodie Sweetin (I didn't know she was doing more movies these days)! The main character Maggie and her friend were pretty good too, very cute and fun to watch, I don't know who they were though. The bad guy (Mr Crazy Eyes as I call him) was way too over-the-top. Very scary. On the other hand, the brother was such a stick in the mud though. I had a hard time figuring out why his girlfriend was interested in him! Did the actor even smile once in the whole movie, ever? Kind of a drag to watch him. The ex husband was the best male character probably.

The story overall needed some work. Sometimes it dragged. Could have been a faster pace in some spots (with maybe a few less scenes of the bad guy talking to himself).

Overall the movie was just fine.

Handyman from Hell is a lackluster attempt at a horror movie that ultimately falls flat in its execution. The movie's premise, which revolves around a sinister handyman wreaking havoc on unsuspecting victims, is riddled with clichés and lacks any semblance of originality. The storyline follows a predictable and formulaic trajectory, offering little in the way of surprises or genuine scares.

The characters in Handyman from Hell are one-dimensional and fail to evoke any real empathy or interest from the audience. The performances are lackluster, with "actors" such as B-rated stand-up comedian Steve Hofstetter, delivering lines in a wooden and unconvincing manner. The lack of chemistry between the cast members further detracts from the overall viewing experience, making it difficult to become emotionally invested in their fates.

The special effects in Handyman from Hell are amateurish and unimpressive, failing to create a sense of dread or suspense. The practical effects are poorly executed, with cheap-looking props and unconvincing gore that do little to enhance the movie's horror elements. The CGI, when used, is glaringly obvious and detracts from the overall immersion of the movie.

Overall, Handyman from Hell is a forgettable and uninspired horror movie that fails to deliver on its promise of thrills and chills. With a lackluster plot, unconvincing performances, and subpar special effects, this movie is best avoided by those seeking a truly terrifying cinematic experience.
