The Toolbox Murders
Directed by Dennis Donnelly
A madman stalks and kills female victims using the items in his toolbox. Mario Bava regular Cameron Mitchell (BLOOD AND BLACK LACE) is Vance, the serial killer who seeks revenge - in the form of rape and murder - on any "sinners" he comes across. But when a detective visits Vance's family, it sets off a creepy chain of events that escalates until the shocking finale. One of the most well-known grindhouse films of the '70s, TOOLBOX MURDERS was savaged by critics for its extreme-violence but later found a big cult of fans on home video.

I know theres a remake with one of my favorite horror actresses Angela Bettis but I've never seen it and it's only reason this movies title rang a bell for me. When it starts I feel very disturbed and grossed out by it but it was a real horror movie then it went in a different direction. Turns into a mystery hostage situation and as a viewer i need some story too so I appreciate that. Overall it was pretty decent and interesting to see it's based on a true story has a powerful ending for sure.
The majority of the movie was so-so, but the ending really hits you like a train.
honestly pretty good for what it is. not in my list of favorites though. I understand what they were going for with the long drawn out scene's of sexuality but it was a little much. I'm looking forward to seeing the remake, this premise could work great with a few tweaks.
not nearly as good as the 2004 reboot but halfway decent
About what you’d expect. Good story. Weird intro. If you know anything about the actual toolbox murders it’s worth a watch.
