3.0 out of 5 starsToolbox Murders: A 2 for 1 movie
By L.J.F.64 on 12 April 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A deranged masked man uses his toolbox to kill several young women at an apartment complex, he then kidnaps a young woman and holds her captive in his home.

A film that does deliver what it promises for the first 25mins thereafter becomes something very different. The films reputation as violent exploitation is fulfilled with some very strong sense including the infamous sequence with Kelly Nichols & the nail gun, however all the violent deaths at the beginning are fairly graphic and even a little sleazy. The violent set pieces are done very well and are quite unsettling in a way, acting from the main cast is OK, Cameron Mitchell & Pamela Ferdin as the 2 leads are by far the best and do the aggressor/victim roles surprisingly well.

The main problem for the film is what many others have said, the film seems like 2 movies stuck together, the opening 25mins are a violent horror then the next 65-70mins are a kind of psychological drama. The opening has very little to do with the rest apart from the kidnapping, the deaths are really only there to show how evil our disturbed bad guy is and in all honesty if there weren't any killings at all the film wouldn't lose anything. Pace of the film is also a problem, after the opening the film slows right down into a mystery of the kidnap girls brother & friend trying to find her, it does get a lot better and in fact the final 15mins are actually really good.

Once a video nasty but take away the opening and your left with a film that isn't confrontational or shocking, watchable but sadly nothing more.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe Toolbox Murders makes a belated return
By A Customer on 27 Jun. 2000
Format: DVD
Roasted over the coals for its alleged misogynistic overtones and all but chased out of the UK upon its initial video release, The Toolbox Murders makes a belated return appearance on video and its first appearance on DVD. Toolbox Murders notoriety rests entirely on its opening moments as Ski- Masked Psycho Cameron Mitchell murders a succession of women with the contents of the titular Toolbox. Grand Guignol is taken to almost farcical levels as woman upon woman stumble upon the
killer and meet their fate. By the time Mitchell advances on his final victim of the evening with a drill theres barely enough room to move for all the dead bodies. After this shocking opening precariously little else really happens, Mitchell ranting insanities kidnaps a girl who he believes to be his daughter, splitting the rest of the narrative between the not so interesting attempts by the girl's brother to find her, and the girl's own attempts to escape. Toolbox has its moments such as Mitchell's legendary rendition of "Sometimes I feel like a Motherless Child" but the film rarely peaks after its opening bloodbath. This DVD version does a good job in preserving perhaps the films finest feature, its camerawork by Orson Welles collaborator Gary Graver, but censor cuts of over 2 minutes rob the film of the reasons for all the hype. Sad to say that remove the opening half hour of the film and the Toolbox Murders could easily play on afternoon TV, hardly a fitting eulogy for a formally red-blooded video nasty.

4.0 out of 5 starsNew Vipco release stimulates controversy.
By A Customer on 27 Sept. 2000
Vipco pull through again by releasing this 1978 classic which has been unavailable since the great 'Video Nasty' scare of 1983. The film, dealing with a samauri who goes on a rampage in America, has not aged a bit and is still as shocking as it ever was. People get killed with all sorts of 'toolbox' appliances, hence the title. There is castration when a man urinates on the killers feet unknowingly, there are nail-gun murders, and a whole host of other nasty killings which have not been cut by the ever-sharp blade of the censor. Definatly not for the weak-of-heart, the film was one of the only 'Splatter' movies to be discussed in detail upon its release on a late-night talk show. The audience were shown the nail-gun murder, and groaned at disgust. Buy this movie now and you will not regret it! Great story, lovingly detailed kills, and previously banned as a bonus. Support Vipco - they are one of the best horror labels around, and have been operating since 1979, a year after this film was originally released.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot Scary But True
By Jim Piper on 11 July 2006
Format: DVD
I can only assume the reason this film was banned was because of police embarrassment or as respect to the real life victims. Brief glimpses of a masked madman with various drill attachements setting about murdering the neighbours in a quiet suburban area then kidnapping the daughter of one of the deceased should lead to a mass murder hunt. In this case one detective was deemed to be enough.

The clues: The killer only had to forcefully enter the home of one of the three victims. The kidnapped girl bore an uncanny resemblance to the tragically lost daughter of the properties owner. The owner & his nephew were carrying out repairs to their properties at the time. The nephew was provided with a huge toolbox to carry out these repairs.

The faults: Cameron Mitchell [Uncle Buck] spilt more blood in the High Chaparral but sang just as badly. When the brother of the kidnapped girl suggested that the killer may have a key to the properties & could indeed be the owner our lone detective fell about laughing.

To sum up: The fact that the story is based on true events makes you feel less disappointed. As a docu-drama it is passable. As a horror film if this scares you i expect black & white Mummy/Werewolf presentations have the same effect. I am in the Excalibur/Alien lover class [but Disney's Big Red had me wailing] and love the modern cinema's gruesome effects. So sadly if you are like me & love being scared don't bother with this tame effort but if you don't like sleeping in the dark it's not for you either.

A definite MISS that should have been left undisturbed. JimP
