In a quiet apartment complex in Los Angeles, a deranged handyman goes on a killing spree, savagely murdering "immoral" women with the tools of his trade - claw-hammers, screwdrivers, power drills and even a deadly nail gun! But these gruesome massacres are just the beginning of this landmark epic of violence and depravity that was vilified by critics, banned by censors, and treasured by splatter fans worldwide. This is...The Toolbox Murders! (official distributor synopsis)

The Toolbox Murders is a well-made and slightly overly-complicated slasher movie with a killer in a ski mask, who rampages around an apartment complex with the help of a variety of tools (definitely more fun than The Driller Killer). Although every now and then the pace drags a bit, it’s definitely one of the more accomplished horror movies on the "video nasties" list.

The Toolbox Murders is a little, relatively original horror flick that starts off as a mindless gorefest with professional-grade instruments of death (a drill, shotgun, nail gun) used on beautiful girls and continues as a psychologically tense ode to the matter of Christian ethics versus sex. Even then, however, the blood doesn’t stop flowing and the feeling of repulsion intensifies with each passing minute. A slightly perverse video nasty that hits a target similar to that which, for example, the more gratuitious trash I Spit on Your Grave tried and failed to hit.
