Serial Killer Massacre is a Shot-on-Video horror movie that sort of plays like a serial killer version of a chick flick. As camcorder horrors go, it’s better than most. Then again, if you have a low tolerance for this sort of thing, you probably won’t walk away impressed. That said, the performances are certainly better than you would typically see in something like this.
A guy in a ski mask runs around kidnapping and killing women. He also hears voices and is so unhinged that when his therapist tells him, “Have a nice day”, he snaps and strangles her! Meanwhile, a female serial killer is going around picking up dudes and murdering them. It’s only a matter of time before their paths cross. After they unsuccessfully try to kill one another, they figure, it must be love at first fight… err… sight. But will it be a match made in heaven or a match made in hell?
The murder sequences are kind of hit and miss as the film offers you a mix of the standard stabbings along with some assorted shootings. One scene blatantly rips off the iconic bathtub scene in I Spit on Your Grave, although it’s not nearly as effective. Then again, it’s like I always say: If you’re going to steal from somewhere, steal from the best. We also get an OK decapitation and a solid scissors-to-the-eyeballs scene. There’s even some gratuitous T & A in there for good measure, including a comically long scene where a decent looking lady starts sexing up an ugly fella.
Honestly, there are no real surprises here. This is one of those movies where what you see is what you get. However, at fifty-five minutes, it doesn’t waste any time getting down to business, which is always appreciated, especially in the SOV horror genre.
