5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get taken!, July 11, 2006

This review is from: The Mutilator (DVD)

I write this review for 2 reasons: To express my love for this little-seen slasher flick, and to warn that there is NO official DVD release of it. As of this writing(July 11, 2006), all available versions are DVD-r bootlegs sometimes found here, through no fault of Amazon.com. You should be able to get an uncut rip of "The Mutilator" on any number of sites, and there is no reason to shell out any more than 10 bucks or so for a bootleg. I have seen this DVD, and the quality is fair to middling. It is uncut, but bits of splatter removed for the r-rated release have been spliced back in from the unrated VHS. As for the movie, this is a quintessentially American mid-80s by-the-numbers slasher flick. If you like this type of film, and you have not seen this, shame on you! The acting sucks, the characters are paper-thin, the haircuts are atrocious, and the deaths are frequent, graphic, and inventive. In other words, this is one of the best slashers ever made. Period. I can't believe no one has given this a proper DVD release yet. See it, just don't pay too much until you can get an official version with good picture quality. This has been a public service announcement.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun and gory slasher flick!, January 16, 2005

By 

Melvin (Eureka, KS) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mutilator, The [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I would recommend tracking down the unrated version if you can get it. Back when it first came out I had bought the R-rated version not knowing that 'Unrated Version' usually meant more gore (I was young). I remembered how much I loved it as a kid. When I seen how much it scared my cousin it made me love it even more. That's what it's all about isn't it?

Over the years I was finally able to get the uncut version and wow what a difference! The Mutilator will teach you another use for an outboard boat motor (for further instruction check out ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST-aka DR. BUTCHER). To think we all thought it was designed for travelling on the water. What were we thinking? LOL!!! There is even a gruesome scene involving a woman that got a room full of my college friends squirming in their seats even though they were all guys.

Don't watch it expecting Oscar quality acting tho. Some of it is downright awful. Just look for a scene during the opening credits between a convenience store clerk and his wife. It is some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. But if you want a fun movie that has enjoyable characters, great gore, cheesy acting, the usual slasher cliches, etc. check it out.

Will someone ever release it on DVD? It is strange that there is a lot worse out there that has found life on DVD. Go figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST, March 18, 2008

This review is from: The Mutilator (DVD)

There are not many reviews for this so I had to write one. Like one of the previous reviews "THIS MOVIE IS NOT YET ON DVD", don't be fooled with some bootleg dvd rom. This movie has some top notch kill scenes. My favorite is when one of the girls gets hooked with one huge fish hook right between her legs and all of you who have already watched know exactly what I am talking about. There is also a nice chainsaw scene right thru the chest that last for a few seconds and blood everywhere. To back up, pretty simple plot. College buddies headed to vacation beach house and get literally "mutilated" by some unknown pyscho lurking in the garage. The Mutilator is one of my top 10 slashers of all time. Very very few people have actually seen this and not many more have even heard of this long out of print classic. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A MUST SEE!!!!!
