demented kid who is obsessed with
pornography butchers his Mom with an axe
and 40 years later a chainsaw killer is
hacking away co-ed girls at a college
campus while putting together his

One of the workers there who is a

framed the killer keeps on hacking these
girls away.
Bracken goes to the aid of the agent at
the campus who's a tennis athlete named
Mary Riggs (Lynda Day) and a student
hoping to be an officer named Kendall
James (Ian Sera) to find out the killers
indentity.

UGH!!! a terrible
film from start to finish but for some
gorehounds they considered this one a
cult classic but probably cause it
starred the two married couple's Christopher
George and Lynda Day.
Made on a terrible budget with bad sound
quality too filmed in Spain which they
don't have as good of a budget like in
other countries so they write a bad plot
and cover it with tons of graphic gore
and nudity to keep the viewers attention.
It is mysterious on who the killer is
though but it doesn't make up for this
film at all in which they tried to make
this film as original as possible. Of
course they even put on their poster
"You Don't Have to go to Texas...
for a Chainsaw Massacre" which shows
it all that this film is classic trash.

The acting is
quite bad but they are performed by alot
of local Spanish actors with their words
dubbed by American actors.
Cult icon Christopher George
should really be ashamed of his work on
this film as he's done better films than
this as this is probably his worst film
and one of his last one's too before his
death. He did the best he can to play a
detective with his usual growly voice.
Lynda Day seems to ull off her part
well showing a good character and great
intense energy too showing everying that
she's got.
Frank Brana seems to have the
perfect look for the head detective in
the film and the right attitude too so
another point for this fellow.
Edmund Purdom on the other hand was
quite bland with his performance in the
film and did nothing for me.
Ian Sera was average in the film as
the head co-ed but his part was necessary
for the horror film and the odd time was
impressive with his work too when he
shows his intensity.
Paul L. Smith was alot better as
Bluto in Popeye and you
can tell he had limitations for playing a
role like that but he was ok as a
suspect. However he was awfully cheesy
with his actions.
Jack Taylor had a good serious
attitude as the part of the professor at
the school nad showed good serious
expressions too.

There's a puzzle of a full
nude woman.
A blonde takes off the top of her bikini
to go swimming in a pool.
A guy gets out of bed fully naked to look
out a window and his girlfriend shows a
tit shot while in bed.
There's a corpse of a breasted woman.
A tennis player is taking a shower bare
breasted at times exposing her butt and
briefly shows her vagina while changing.
She is fully breasted while running away
from the chainsaw killer.

An abusive mother is
bloodily hacked by a saw along with her
sawed off head in a closet.
A co-ed's head is chopped off by a
chainsaw.
Pieces of another co-ed's body is spotted
near a swimming pool.
A dancer has her arms sawed off in an
elevator.
A woman is bloodily stabbed on a
waterbed.
A tennis player is sawed in half in a
change room.
There's a bloody ending but that would
spoil it.

Juan Piquer Simon's directing
for this film is almost god awful. He
doesn't make the killing scene's with the
chainsaw too convincing or the victims
screaming too realistic at all but maybe
cause most of it is overdubbed.
There's a dialogue between supporting
actress Isabelle Luque towards Jack
Taylor in a hallway asking him about
her breasts and how they look right or
somewhere along those lines which looked
extremely trashy.
We have good shots on the killers gloves
talking out a puzzle and different takes
putting each one together after he kills
someone.
There's some good shots on the killers
footsteps walking in the hallway or
corridors and then activating his
chainsaw.
There's a cheesy shot on Paul L.
Smith cutting some trees with a
chainsaw along having a dialogue with Frank
Brana which looked cheaply directed
too.
We have a great blocking on Smith when
he physically bashes the actors as police
officers trying to arrest him.
There's terrible dialogues that surround
Christopher George, Brana and
Edmund Purdom in an office
trying to solve the unsolved
slaughterings at the school.
We have a good first time dialogue
between George and his real life
Lynda Day on asking for help but
again they often do well together.
There's good shots on Day
playing tennis with her competitor along
with cheesy shots on the extras as the
audience looking back and fourth on the
ball.
A good shot on the hooded killer walking
into an elevator with a chainsaw hiding
behind his back.
Ian Sera does well getting sick
after spotting a slaughter in an elevator
and really knew how to behave intense
towards George. There was also
some good thunder sounds which made the
scene look effective.
There was a good shot on a chainsaw
sawing open a wooden door and coming in
for the kill.
Day does well screaming intensely
after spotting a slaughter showing great
expressions.
Purdom does well looking over
Day as she does well acting drugged
and talking to her.
There's a good scene with Sera
trying to talk to Day on a couch
and does well almost acting paralyzed.
We spot a good camera shot on Purdom
attacking Sera with a knife with
him struggling to stay alive.

We have some
excellent windy synthesizer music during
most scene's of this film as well as the
odd cheesy chiming music and a quarter
way when they solve who the killer is
great adventureous music which is the
only good thing with this turkey composed
