Beware of Beefcake Killer
Totally obscure slasher/action “thingie” from the late 80’s that really doesn’t have such a bad basic premise, actually. It’s just suffering slightly from an overall clumsy execution, like pitiably written dialogs, lousy acting performances and not enough usage of great set pieces. “Destroyer” opens with the pretty awesome electrocution of a beefcake serial killer Ivan Moser, whose last wish was to watch an episode of Wheel of Fortune. It’s a bit of a weird sight, but later it becomes clarified that the show’s hostess was one of the killer’s last victims. The first attempt to barbecue Ivan fails, and then riots break out in prison and the killer mysteriously vanishes. Years later, the abandoned prison is used as the setting for a sleazy and so-called “women-in-prison” flick; although the writer is convinced his film is a drama based on true events. Mr. Beefcake killer comes back to life and apparently one of the film’s crew member, stunt woman and girlfriend of writer Susan Malone – has a psychic link with him. “Destroyer” is a very uneven horror effort. The film starts off very slow with a few extended and gradually build up towards murder sequences, and then suddenly shifts in high gear with multiple off-screen killings. The few on screen kills are disappointing and the giant jackhammer illustrated on the VHS cover hardly makes an appearance. Thanks to the film-within-film structure, however, there are some very welcome gratuitous nude sequences to enjoy. There isn’t any real tension to detect in “Destroyer” and the beefcake dude, regardless of how ugly, isn’t menacing at all. The guy, Lyle Alzado, apparently was a famous American Football player during the 70’s and 80’s. Hey, I’m European so I never heard about him before. To me, he’s just a lousy wannabe actor who looks like the bodybuilder version of Luciano Pavarotti or maybe even Dom DeLuise on a really bad day. There’s also a miserable little supportive role for washed up superstar Anthony Perkins as the director of the sleazy WIP-flick. At times, you can actually see him think back about the glorious days of “Psycho”.
Jailhouse Slaughter
This film has a crew making a movie in a abandoned prison. The problem is one of the prisoners is still there and he is angry.This had Lyle Alzado playing the psycho. This guy was awesome but his career got cut short when just four years after making this he died of brain cancer. The whole concept of the film is cheesy but you still watch all the mayhem. One scene has Lyle chasing someone with a jackhammer which is the scene depicted on the cover. They don’t show how much air hose he has or explain even why a working jackhammer would be left at the prison but it doesn’t matter. He also likes to eat hair (maybe the person still had that Body On Tap shampoo that was enriched with beer). Overall he played a good nut job. Playing the director was Anthony Perkins who was always whining and grabbing his head. His best scene was when he sizzled and popped on the electric chair.
A fun little film. Put your mind in neutral and enjoy.
