This movie is a JOKE!
Yeah, if you're a film student, you could see this movie for tips. But to see this movie for pleasure, DO NOT BUY IT! It was a total waste of money for me. The acting was horrible, I laughed through the whole movie. I wanted to fall asleep. People seem to like this movie for its "gore humor", but I think the director tried too hard with that. Maybe the movie was suppose to look like crap, and that's what makes it good. That factor didn't appeal at all to me. The movie has that horrible 80's horror movie feel, and that killed it at the very beginning. The tall skinny blonde, the main character, should have rehearsed being sadistic a little longer. I think I liked two of his killings, I must admit. Not bloody and gory enough, but it was good enough. This DVD is the DVD I hide in the back of my collection, its an embarassment.

This movie is sooo good. Asbestos Felt is GOD!
Now and then I try to rent a low-budget film to try to see how the 'tricks' are made. I'am a film student at Florida Atlantic University. I found 'KILLING SPREE' last year and was blown away! On ever level this movie delivers! The storyline is funny and unique and the gore is so slapstick and nice to look at -great eye candy. But what makes this movie is Asbestos Felt. His presence in the film is electrifying. He is like a cartoon character that has come to life. It's a shame that I haven't seen him in anything since. But if my-or my colleagues projects get off the ground Asbestos is the first person I'd try to contact. Now I got the bootleg edition of this on DVD first which had some half-naked woman with a machette on in and I was disapointed by the image quality. This new 'official' release is much better print but it could have been a little better. There is little spots and hairs that show up plus a little compression which enlarge the grain in some shots. The extras are great! I was very surprised, because this is a rare movie. It has an awesome informative documentary that was it's own film back in 1996-so it's great that they included it. The DVD also has a trailer, deleted scenes, TV spots, cast & crew interviews which are included for the DVD toward the end of the Documentary.
Also included are the cast audio commentay throughout the film which is so funny and informative. It does include director commentary but I only listened to it once because it is a little boring. If anything you should see this movie for Asbestos Felt! But if you are into the genre of horror/gore, low-budget films, or anything interesting in the subject of film-this is a MUST SEE!!! My fav. films are not really rooted in horror either.
The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Scarface, and KILLING SPREE are my fav. films. Asbestos Felt is GOD

**Being "Bad" is Fun Too**
With a movie like KILLING SPREE what some people have to realize is that it's not about the Hollywood "look" or great drama (whatever), but more about FUN. People who might want to berate this movie, I think, take watching movies far, far too seriously. Just enjoying it for its low budget and its bad acting (which works for these films, as in BRIDE OF FRANK) makes it worth while watching. The death scenes are pure and simple entertainment soaked in blood & guts. How can you honestly pass up on the opportunity to see as a guy who comes over to cut the grass is later buried by our protagonist--with only lawn man's head and hands left above the ground...a quick pass or two of the lawnmower and no more lawn guy. And how about the aged granny-type, irritatingly nosy woman who meets with the wrong end of a claw hammer? The only thing that I kinda didn't agree with was the movie's ending, in which the zombies of those Asbestos had murdered come back for him; although his suicide with a hacksaw across the neck was somewhat of a guilty pleasure to watch. Bottom line is this is not one for people who take themselves, life, or movies too seriously; but fans of Ed Woods type fare, where more often than not it's the not-great acting and the cheesy production values that are enjoyable to watch.
