Search - The Jackhammer Massacre on DVD

The key to enjoying this film is not to take it seriously. The idea of a raving nutcase running around killing people with a jackhammer is really funny if you think about it. As far as slasher film weapons go a jackhammer would be nobody's idea of the ideal weapon. It's loud and requires an electrical outlet. Seeing the killer dealing with a drop cord as he's hunting down a victim is a sight that you'll never forget. It's an ultra low budget movie that has numerous problems, but it goes all out which is something rare in today's direct to dvd horror films.

"I put this film on & though I'd be in for a wild ride after the openeing "jackhammer to the face" scene, alas, it turned into a story of a drug addict simply out of his mind. The plot (was there one?) had more holes than I can count on my fingers (if only I had more fingers!). When a movie uses the typical "one year earlier" and "one year later" movie conventions, you know there isn't much to look forward to. But, you may ask, why would anyone concentrate on plot-lines when the movie is titled "jackhammer massacre". Well, if I were to give you the attention deficit disorder review, it would be as follows: druggie kills man with jackhammer, flash back 1 year, show that he once had a job and did recreational drugs with a firend, flash forward 1 year and he's a druggie security guard for some non-descript warehouse, nothing much happens up until this time (which about now clocks in at over 1 hour), then the film comes to a close with people coming to clear out the warehouse he works at (this includes his concerned sister). Now that their are people in his midst at the warehouse, the killing begins, but at this point, you just want it to end, even if the body count rises. I would have been better off sorting my laundry or picking at unhealed scabs than to have watched this (sigh). What a fool I am!- to think, being a horror movie fan, that I could get some enjoyment. (It wasn't even "Bad" in a good way)."
