Killing Spree

DIRECTED BY: Tim Ritter

REVIEWED: 08-28-96

Tim Ritter's ultra-low-budget Floridian splatter fest follows an airplane mechanic (Asbestos Felt) whose ex-wife's infidelity has left him unable to trust his current wife--or anyone else. After throwing his best friend out of the house for merely speaking to her, Asbestos stumbles across a little black book containing what appear to be detailed descriptions of his wife's extra-marital romps. Feltster flips out, slaughtering his pal and the guy's teenage squeeze. Every day, new stories appear in the diary, leading Felt to go on--holy cats--a Killing Spree! While I was watching this flick, I kept thinking, "Man! This is just like an H.G. (Blood Feast) Lewis movie!" Cheesy acting, shots held too long, gore aplenty--all the trademark Lewis elements are there, and sure enough, the closing credits dedicate the movie to the Godfather of Gore. While the already-rambly pacing tends to slow even more towards the end, plenty of disembowelments and zombies keep things interesting, and Felt's screwy performance never lets you forget--he's CRAAAAAZZYYY! Highly recommended to H.G. Lewis fans.
