Enlivened a little by its final quarter.
Dawn (B movie goddess Linnea Quigley) and her friend Amy (“Tenement” hottie Karen Russell) are the mentally unstable daughters of mobsters. They spend some time in a mental institution before being let back into the real world, and decide to invite a bunch of ex- boyfriends to a party to celebrate. Wouldn’t you know it: a mad killer arrives to make mincemeat of the partygoers.

This ultra cheap trashy slasher from writer Ross A. Perron and the prolific David DeCoteau is hard to stick with for a while. It drags like you wouldn’t believe, with a lot of set-up to sit through. Much time is devoted to institution flashbacks, with the sexy gals being interviewed by doctors played by Lenny Rose and token big name Lyle Waggoner. Fortunately, DeCoteau is smart enough to include a bit of sex and T & A to break up the tedium. It’s also a mild bit of fun to watch a cast that also includes Eric Freeman of “Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2” infamy. But it isn’t until late in the game that this gets a lot more amusing. The makeup effects are crude but deliciously over the top. The movie also ends with a pretty decent fire gag. And Linnea and Russell prove quite easy to watch.

A passable time killer for 83 minutes.

Six out of 10.

I liked it
Californian exploitation films have always bothered me. It’s not the same deal as like Nail Gun Massacre or Offerings. Those films weren’t made in the heartland of moviedom or “The Kingdom of the Cinema” as Claudio Fragasso once put it.

I mean, what do i know, but i feel these films have less an excuse to be cheap than those made in America’s less photographed states.

This was the main point of contention i eventually had to get over with when watching Murder Weapon, a film filled with as much bizarre trash as it has scenes of people talking about bizarre trash because the production couldn’t afford to shoot much else. It is too obvious at times where David DeCoteau couldn’t afford it and instead John Forded it and cut scenes out entirely from the screenplay or altered them so that they could be just people talking in a room. This is where the California gets strong.

DeCoteau, like Olen Ray and Wynorski, barely adds any atmosphere to these talking heads scenes and for the most part leaves the actors for dead with only the script to share the non atmosphere. Then again, i could say almost the exact same thing about many of the regional American horror films of the time. It all comes down to self-awareness. Who is laughing at whom? Is this a sincere attempt at reforming the slasher film at a time when it was falling into a nadir of sequeldom? Or is it business as usual for Exploitation’s moviebrats and it’s only by frugality that any true psychotronic value can be gained? I know my answer.

Murder Weapon has intense gore, excessive softcore nudity and a script for an after school special that probably started off life as a pitch for a Nightmare on Elm Street sequel. This was not a shot on video production, but does have the inconsequential narrative of one. All of this works in Murder Weapon’s favour. But it’s not exceptional trash, like Blood Rage. Blood Rage had a schizophrenic 18 going on 34 year old hacking his stepdad to death with a machete, culminating in a twitching severed hand holding a beer can. Murder Weapon has a dream sequence with ‘Garbage Day’ guy slicing a neurotic valley girl’s throat in a poorly implemented close up. The blu-ray packaging promised something along the lines of Blood Rage and i was kind of disappointed. Not enough though to prevent me from giving it a recommendation. Even by DeCoteau’s standards, this is wildly incoherent and fun for the fact.
