PRIME EVIL: HOOKER WITH A HACKSAW (2017) * ½

Donald Farmer is one of the reigning kings of no-budget horror. He’s been in the game for over thirty years now.  Judging from Hooker with a Hacksaw, I’m not exactly sure how much he’s learned since the days of Vampire Cop.

Kirsten (Kasper Meltedhair, who also co-wrote the movie with Farmer) is a hooker who is so desperate, she’ll have sex with a psycho john’s dead mother for drugs.  Another john forces her to appear in a snuff movie, but she’s able to get free and turns the tables on her captors, killing them with a hacksaw.  She then goes out on the street, trusty hacksaw in hand, killing abusive assholes and parasitic pushers.

Hooker with a Hacksaw is one of those movies where the budget was so low, you’ll swear the special effects were bought at the Spirt of Halloween clearance rack the day after Halloween.  I mean the dead mother is nothing more than a plastic skeleton.  In fact, there’s a long scene in the movie where Meltedhair is seen wandering endlessly down the aisles of a Spirit of Halloween store, which confirms my suspicion that’s where the plastic skeleton corpse was purchased from.  Not only that, but the shots of her trying on mask after mask also helps to pad out the running time.

I give Meltedhair credit for ripping guys’ guts out and doing sexually suggestive stuff with their intestines and still managing to look sexy while doing so.  This scene is so good that it’s repeated over the end credits to further pad the running time.  At seventy minutes, it’s still way too long though, even when the last ten minutes are nothing more than credits.  Still, the instestine scene, along with Meltedhair’s game performance is enough to keep this from being a One Star deal.

Linnea Quigley has a cameo, briefly appearing on television.
