Heidy Kozak looks so hot in this one, Juliette Cummings takes her top off, Kim McArthur is annoying and Crystal Bernard takes a bath... The guys just go to the house to die, the girls are hot I tell you...The effects were graphic enough, the blood was good, the plot was silly, but who cares? these chicks are hot!!!
Even though the movie was funny, this was actually a good movie. It was good enough to sit and watch and really pay attention to it. You have a maniac who sings with a guitar drill (that is so crazy and hysterical to me). What director would ever think of that? The movie has a lot of funny parts to me in it. I give it a rating of 2.5 stars out of 3 stars.
Years ago, Valerie Bates and her little sister Courtney were the soul survivors of a drill-wielding psychopath. However, the experience put poor Valerie in a mental institution, leaving her tomboyish little sister and the girls' mother alone to cope. That was years ago, however and now young Courtney has grown up to be a teenage knockout, who just happens to look like Crystal Bernard of the TV show "Wings" fame. She is struggling to live a normal life, despite terrible dreams involving her institutionalized sister, blood, gore, smoke and a James Dean-from Hell looking Rock N Roller, who just happens to use as his weapon of choice, GET THIS, a fire engine red guitar drill! She tries to put her dreams out of her mind by accompanying her girlfriends on a weekend of fun and partying, but her dreams go right along with her, as poor Courtney begins to have insane hallucinations involving the black clad shock rocker from her dreams. As this is going on, her friends slowly begin to disappear one by one. Can it be true? Has the Driller Killer been reincarnated as kind of a demonic Elvis Presley? Or is Miss Courtney Bates ready for a one way trip to the Booby Hatch? While this movie may not be (Ok, IS NOT) the greatest movie ever made, it does qualify as a KILLER B Movie (Pardon The Pun). Besides, let's be honest folks, who wouldn't want to own the Driller Killer's Guitar Drill? The Guitar Drill ALONE makes the movie worth seeing, and the gore sequences and fire special effects DON'T hurt.
I rented this for free with the intention of getting a good laugh. I got exactly that. Invite some friends over, watch this movie, and prepare to die laughing. If it's not a falling rubber hand, or a flying chicken, it's a killer with a drill..... on his electric guitar! This movie is worth the two or three dollars you would spend to rent it just for the laughs. Great fun. And next time you and your friends are having a naked champagne fight, watch out for the Driller Killer!
I still can't decide if the plot, characters, dancing, music, or the villian is the worst part of this movie. But God knows I won't be watching it a second time to figure that out. Extremely cheesy 80's horror, so if that's your thing, maybe you'll enjoy it. I didn't go into the film expecting much, thankfully. But man...it's not a good one.
