In Hollywood, the young teacher Nell and her husband, the resident Steven Barrows, move to an old building called Lusman Arms. Some sixty years ago, the place was glamorous, but presently is completely decadent. Many dwellers have disappeared along the years. While her husband is working in the hospital, the lonely Nell hears some weird noises and becomes afraid of the place. While jogging, she is introduced to (and becomes close to) her neighbor Julia Cunningham, and they schedule a hike together on the next day. Julia never shows up, and Nell looks for her in the building, finding a hiding block behind the wall, where an evil being, which was born from death, lives with many dead bodies.
Leave your thoughts about Toolbox Murders.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...Hooper creates a film that's almost as effective as his first big success - The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThis one might just be a small blip on the current Horror Remake horizon, but it's a knowingly nasty and entirely enjoyable throwback to a slashier time. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezTobe Hooper's latest is not unlike an episode of Melrose Place as imagined by Lucio Fulci. |
| VarietyRussell EdwardsToolbox may not renew the splatter genre in any significant way, but the chills and kills prove Hooper, when armed with the right script, can still tighten the fright screws. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.The movie does boast ridiculous elements to its story and logic, but it's so bad it's good. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusIn a genre where so many titles disappoint, Hooper makes sure that this one won't. |
| Horror.comStaci Layne WilsonToolbox Murders is Hooper's best work in years. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersHooper has dodged the lightning bolt of inspiration once again |
| User ReviewMatthew WAngels Bettis delivers a star studed preformance in this jump out of your seat horror film!" |
| User ReviewGreen PAny story about the comings and goings of weird people in a strange hotel or apartment block - and there are a number - gets my interest. The Toolbox Murders is no exception, and thrown in is a bizarre seam of gore and occult suggestion. The story begins with a young couple moving in to a small flat in a run-down apartment block, managed by a scruffy wide-boy and his strange, silent handyman who just never seems to get around to doing any of the necessary repairs. As the various odd characters begin to succumb to grisly and bizarre deaths, the newcomers - ignored by the police after a false alarm, and unable to break their lease and leave - try to discover what's going on. A trail involving the hotel's strange history, teeth found in the wall (see also 1976's "The Tenant" for very similar occult-symbolic dental welcomes for new tenants) a pattern of non-existing apartment numbers, and esoteric symbols on each floor posing as artwork, lead them towards something much worse than 'just' a serial killer. Possibly filmed in a style recreating the "feel" of it's 1970s predecessor, having not seen the original at first I thought this actually *was* the original. It certainly doesn't have the polished look of a '00s film. But all in all it's an offbeat-enough horror with interesting premise and some pretty creepy scenes. Definitely a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre. |
