Customer Reviews of Toolbox Murders
Tobe Hooper Reigns Again............ It is good to finally see a movie that doesn't have these extremely well known actors in it and actually have a great story to it. This movie also has some of the best death scenes it that I have seen in a while. Bottomline this is a great film and deserves some credit.
If these walls could talk......
When Nell (Angela Bettis) and Steven (Brent Roam) Barrows move into the historic Lusman building, things start going terribly wrong in Tobe Hoopers remake of "Toolbox Murders". Nell finds a box in her apartment with some human teeth in it, her noisy neighbor Saffron (Sara Downing) gets suddenly very quiet, and her new friend and fellow tenant Julia (Juliet Landau) suddenly disappears.

>Nell, who spends her days all alone while her husband works as a resident doctor at the local hospital, is plagued with these and all sorts of mysteries throughout the movie. As things get weirder, and the tenants of the Lusman began vanishing, Nell goes on a quest to learn the history of the Lusman in an attempt to sort out the odd occurrences surrounding her. Of course, she ends up with way more than she bargained for.

>Bettis (as usual) is great in her role. She holds the film together, but she can't save it.
<
>Too many plot twists, not enough explanation, and a confusing third act make the whole movie tough to follow. However, "Toolbox Murders" has a lot going for it as well.

>It's stylish, it's creepy, and at times it's just downright fun. I jumped through a couple scenes, and was on edge for several other. The principle photography and atmosphere of the film are very pleasing. There is also some pretty good death sequences, which really do take you back to the classic slasher films of the 70's and 80's.

>I enjoyed "Toolbox Murders". Not Tobe's best work, but I can see what he was going for and I believe he achieved it. Horror movies rarely come full circle (in one film), and usually leave us wanting and needing more. "Toolbox Murders" is certainly no exception, but it does deliver a solid performance (Bettis), reasonable and sufficient gore, and a few good screams & laughs for the genuine horror fans out there.

Dissapointing Re-imagining.
Well, it had to happen did,nt it ? In this world of remakes and rehashes someone had to ressurect this horror classic, the only trouble is it just does,nt work! The interesting part of this double disc presentation is the excellent documentary EPK which is on disc two. This little gem is a must for those interested in going behind the scenes of these movies, very nicely done! The second documentary, The American Nightmare, has been a special feature on another horror DVD, which it makes it a dissapointing choice for a second special feature. Tobe Hooper tries to work his magic but the story just can,t decide whether its trying to be like Texas Chainsaw or Friday 13th. Jason Voorhees or Leatherface? Take your pick? The scriptwriters tell us that this is a re-imagining,not, a remake, but to be honest they might have made this a lot more scary if they,d stuck to the original premise! Angela Bettis is superb, its just a pity the fear factor scores a total of Nil!!!!
