Luther the Geek
A young country boy is plunged into the depths of homicidal madness after witnessing the strange exploits of a carnival "geek," a caged drunk so desperate for whiskey that he bites the heads off of live chickens in front of a freak show audience. Thirty years later, Luther is all grown up and out on parole after spending his childhood behind bars for a series of grisly murders.
Armed with a pair of razor-sharp metal dentures and only able to communicate through chicken clucks, Luther restarts his bloody rampage as he terrorizes the citizens of a small town and takes a young mother and her family hostage in their isolated farmhouse.
Featuring one of the most intense endings ever put on film, Luther the Geek is good gory fun in the splatter flick tradition!

An ugly, stupid movie - Superdave
Another grimy low end slasher flick that only exists on video because it contains a fairly famous nude scene (involving Stacy Haiduk, Lt. Holden from Seaquest DSV). Otherwise you merely have a repellent little knife kill movie about an ex-con obsessed with circus geeks who makes chicken noises while terrorizing an isolated mother-daughter farm. There is a little suspense here, especially in a sequence following Luther's capture of the mother, as he stalks the unwary daughter while mom struggles with her bonds, but mostly the movie is notable for what it lacks. It lacks the strong atmospheric visuals which occasionally elevate this sort of exercise above the women-stalked-with-farm-tools genre. Luther himself is sufficiently off-center that a better film artist would alter the world around him into something equally nightmarish, eerie and weird, but we just don't get that here. Visually, the movie is just another day on the farm. Avoid this disappointing artless mess.
