Review of Toolbox Murders (2004) by Kieran D — 08 Dec 2006
'TheToolbox Murders' is a pretty mediocre slasher flick. I can't comment on how it compares to the original because I haven't seen it but after seeing only fifteen minutes of this film I already thought "My god, is stuff like this still being made?!". I felt like I was transported back to the 1970's B movies. Behind it's time, cheaply made and IT SHOWS.
The acting and death scenes were bearable but the plot was lame and predictable and it used conventions that are a bit too 'typical' of the genre for me. Clichés can often work to your advantage, especially in horror but someone should tell directors of today that you don't have to use EVERY cliché there is.
Watch it if you must but be warned 'The Toolbox Murders' is neither frightening nor very entertaining.
