\"\"<\/a>Tom may just lose his mind and end up becoming a serial killer if another of his wives cheats on him. How do we know that? Well, Tim Ritter in his brilliant writing explains that to us in an ever so blunt exposition that Tom may just–lose his mind and end up becoming a serial killer if another of his wives cheats on him. Why the repetition? It\u2019s probably because director Tim Ritter\u2019s attempt at a facsimile of a film is absolutely unwatchable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Russo (Asbestos Felt) suspects that his wife is having multiple affairs. So he decides to slaughter the men involved with a variety of household tools. But are the affairs real? Or is Tom just in the mood for a Killing Spree?! It\u2019s nothing but faux avant garde swill attempting Warholian surrealism and fails on every single note possible because it\u2019s undermined by the shoddy work of Ritter. Tom is a man plagued by paranoia that\u2026 you know. And after losing his temper from thinking his wife was flirting with his best friend (a seventy year old pilot, no less), he begins to sink deeper and deeper into madness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a madness that I can only describe as insanely ridiculous acid trips that are neither entertaining nor edgy. \u201cKilling Spree,\u201d a movie I can only describe as a ninety minute punch in the neck that you can barely sit through no matter how hard you tried. Though the (DVD) treatments for these movies are wonderful, Tim Ritter\u2019s horrendous direction and tedious writing make this amateurish slasher. There\u2019s not much else that I can say about this movie since it\u2019s just so bad any attempts at mustering the vitriol for this would be an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a ridiculous production from beginning to end that fails to live up to its alleged slasher tags. Asbestos Felt gives one of the worst performances I\u2019ve ever seen in what can be described as a mixture of inadvertent comedy, and emoting that even a community theater would look down on. If you can sit through this entire film without wanting to go on your own killing spree, then I don\u2019t know if I can respect your endurance or bemoan your stupidity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
