Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

(Credit goes to IMDb) Jack Chandler is a private eye tracking down Samantha the runaway. In his travels, he comes across a gang of chainsaw wielding prostitutes that like to carve people up for their cult.It's a Fred Olen Ray movie, need I say more? Unfortunately, I have to. I got fooled into viewing this movie for the classic title, like many others I presume. All I wanted was some cheesy fun out of this movie. After the very clever discretion warning, it's all downhill from there. For starters, it's WAY too talky. There are too many scenes of talk, talk, talk, and more talk. There are plenty of cheesy jokes as well. It has an ode to old detective films with the main male character, with all the inner monologue (Bravely played by Jay Richardson) I have no idea what Gunnar Hansen's character was all about. He basically stares in approval when the hookers murder people. There is copious amounts of nudity, gore as well, but it amounts to very little in the whole scheme of things. It's just not a very enjoyable movie. In all honesty, I was bored silly. I'm sure others will get cajoled into seeing this from the title. If you enjoy it, all the more power to you.3/10

Linnea Quigley is cute. She is always cute in most of her movies. But she can't save this mess. Nor can Michele Bauer. The best thing about this movie is the title, and if you have the video box or the poster then you have the next best thing about it. The movie itself is far from funny -- not even in a B movie way. At 70 or so minutes, it's 69 minutes too long. There is no attempt at providing a script that is intelligent in any way. The gore effects are just plain bad, not humorous. Bad movies are not entertainment; they are an insult to audiences and especially an insult to people who are truly creative and can't get their scripts produced for one reason or another. If you're expecting to be entertained in any way, then you will be thoroughly disappointed. Fred Olen Ray is not Sam Raimi. He is not even George Romero. Even the nudity can't redeem this movie! Avoid!

Hehe, apart from chainsaw-horror completists, this should also be viewed by silly b-movie/exploitation fans. With quite enough blood and at times funny quotes, this is for an easy night with friends and beer. Again, don't take this for serious horror because that;s not the case! Serious horror fans could actually hate this.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*All B-movie fans should see this movie. Even if you can't make it through the whole thing, the best scene is in the first ten minutes. Michelle Bauer strips while dancing to Elvis. She gets her room ready for some chainsaw action while naked. She's putting plastic sheeting over her Elvis painting, putting on a shower cap so she doesn't get blood in her hair, etc. See Michelle's naked body drenched in blood while she's holding a chainsaw! B-movie nirvana!Michelle Bauer and Linnea Quigley make this movie happen. Bauer has an unbelievably tight body. I could watch that strip scene over and over. OK, I admit it. I have watched it over and over. Mmmm...Hookers chainsawing. And I don't know what it is about Linnea Quigley. She has got this great body with this innocent little face. It works. Her dance of the two chainsaws at the end is another highlight. The outfit she wore during her dance is something special. They both get naked in the flick as do a number of other women. You can't go wrong. OK, sure. They may not be the greatest actresses in the world. So what? They get an A+ in my book for getting into the swing of things and embracing the art of being a Chainsaw Hooker.The detective who was investigating the chainsaw murders had some funny lines. The best line? Michelle and the detective are at a bar. She says, "Jack? I'm going to **** your brains out." The Detective thinks to himself: "I didn't like the sound of that."If you like B-movies about hookers with chainsaws, you've got to see this flick!
