Chainsaw Killer is a weird little gem that's both a love letter and a critique of collector culture. The atmosphere is drenched in that gritty, low-budget horror vibe, typical for indie films of the era. You can feel the tension building as Victor McCoy, our obsessed protagonist, spirals down into madness, all for an elusive VHS tape. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow adds to the chaotic charm. And those practical effects? They lean into the gruesome, with a few moments that feel delightfully absurd. The performances are a mixed bag, but they capture that desperation and passion of collecting that many of us can relate to. There's a certain grindhouse quality here that scratches an itch if you appreciate the bizarre corners of the horror genre.
