Killing Spree

A virtually plotless excuse for an interminable parade of repulsive (and amateurish) gore effects, this movie's psycho-killer scenario involves the manic antics of the oddly-named Asbestos Felt as he acts on the jealous delusion that his wife is engaged in affairs with their neighbors, friends, family, guests, handymen, and so on. The sadistic and splattery murders are presented amid hallucinogenic flashes of light, as if to signal to gorehounds where to pay close attention. Assorted depravities include decapitation, TV-set electrocution and dismemberment by lawn mower. The climax is stolen from the notorious Joe Spinell sleazefest Maniac -- a film which, though thoroughly disgusting in its own right, is far slicker-looking than this serving of direct-to-video tripe.
