Review of Toolbox Murders (2004) by Tico P — 18 Oct 2010
Not exactly a remake of the Toolbox Murders, Tobe Hooper's version is pretty good considering his post TCM2 career. Dont get me wrong, Hooper is my favorite American Master of Horror and there is decent and entertaining stuff in even his worst stuff.
I caught this a few years ago and enjoyed it. Hooper's Toolbox Murders features a batch of strange characters who border on tolerable to annoying, which works in horror, especially in their demises.
Speaking of demises, the death scenes involving the tools were pretty cool. It got a little too rushed and cliched at the end but this was a more return to form for Hooper.
