Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except
"What would happen if Charles Manson met Rambo?" - Variety
Vietnam, 1969. Marine Seargent Jack Stryker and his platoon are trapped outside a Viet Cong occupied village when he catches two bullets in the leg. Stryker's friend hoists him onto his back and the two men blaze through the village blowing away everything in their path.
Upon returning home, Stryker plans to see Sally, his old girlfriend, and recreate the love and peace he once knew. After hours of waiting for her, he goes to her house to find that a cult of crazed killers with a vicious leader (played by The Evil Dead director Sam Raimi) have kidnapped Sally and murdered her grandfather by using him as a human dartboard.
Stryker and his marine friends, who are home on leave, form an annihilation squad and begin a mission of ruthless revenge. This is one time when the death sentence would be merciful compared to the doom that awaits the cult.
Directed by Josh Becker, Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except features many of the people responsible for The Evil Dead including Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell (co-writer) and Scott Spiegel (writer/producer).

Fun little movie - RavenSkies777
I rented this film simply because Sam Raimi acts in it and Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame was one of the writers. Again, I was pleased by the work of these two guys. It is definitely a film to check out if you are a fan of either actors. You'll find yourself laughing as well at the strange sound effects (perfectly selected by Bruce of course) and the insane Charles Manson type character that only Sam Raimi could pull off. For sure a good watch for some great B movie hilarity.for Raimi Fans - mritt
Thou Shalt Not Kill is impressive in its scope for a semi-amateur film. Filmed on location at Bruce Campbell's old house and yard, Josh Becker, Campbell, Sam Raimi and there friends put togethor a pretty decent film. We have battle scenes in Vietnam, a crazy Charles Manson character played frightening well By Raimi, over the top violence, odd sound effects choices done by Campbell and a retired military squad bent on revenge who are armed better than the A-Team. Good cheezy fun.
