Killing Spree (1987)

[dcj2112]

This is a great(ly terrible) movie about a guy who is jealous his wife is sleeping around on him. So he starts killing every man his wife interacts with. There is even a zombie twist later in the movie. My favorite part is probably when the killer is on a ladder and taking to one of his victims. He throws a screwdriver at him and it somehow penetrates the guy's skull. I don't think that is how screwdrivers work.

It's free if you have Amazon Prime. Highly recommended

I have this movie on VHS!
If you like this, try the director's equally insane TRUTH OR DARE: A CRITICAL MADNESS (1986)!

I'll definitely check it out if I ever come across it for free or buy it in a bundle. This one was a ton of fun!

I also want to check out the first movie of the director, Tim Ritter, which is called Day of the Reaper (1984). I've heard Killing Spree and Truth or Dare are similar in that neither are well made but both are a lot of fun. Day of the Reaper by contrast is supposed to just be incomprehensible crap. Ritter made it when he was still in high school and just sold it to video stores directly. Despite the quality the film got enough buzz to land Ritter a deal for a real movie and he's still working today!

This movie has the immortal line I never forget, where the killer almost runs a pedestrian over:

Pedestrian "Where the hell'd you get your license!?  A GUMBALL MACHINE?!"

The only Tim Ritter movie I've seen is Day of the Reaper (1984) and it is awful. His fanboys did upvote it to an amazing 6,3 rating at IMDb though, so don't be fooled.

Hahaha, it only has like 70 votes, it could easily just be Tim himself, plus family/cast/crew/friends.

I wouldn't be surprisded 

I remember when Day of the Reaper was first released to BD-R a few years ago some people at message boards went kind of ballistic with excitement. I then watcherd it on youtube and wow, was it bad.

^ Now I have to see it!

Yeah, a similar thing happened with a zombie flick called Dead Life - my personal vote for the worst film ever made.  It had a bunch of comments and positive reviews and high votes - it was transparently from cast and crew, as the reviews were from before the film had even screened!

Edit: btw, wholly crap, I just looked at Dead Life again.  Almost half of the IMDB votes for it are now 1/10, cratering its IMDB score to 2/10.  When I saw it, I think it was above 5.

It's a super 8mm backyard film (literally), very amateurish, and the picture quality causes eyecancer. Just a warning

Never heard of Dead Life but IMDb tells me it is a Brain Damage Films release. That says everything. I'm not touching it even with a 6 feet pole.

I used to rent Brain Damage Films pretty often back in the days of Hastings.
They were kinda fun in a "so bad it's good" sort of way.
