Sue Me, But I Dug It

Warning: Spoilers
Sure it's terrible, but I found "Scream Bloody Murder" to be an interesting mod chiller. Little Matthew has some "issues." As a child, he runs over his dad with a tractor and kills him. Too bad he cuts off his own hand in the process, and comes back as a young man with a hook hand. Still dealing with those "intimacy issues," Matthew kills mom and stepdad but ends up being unable to escape visions of his dead mother.

He hits the road, meeting "immoral" victims along the way, and then befriends a free-spirited artist/ho. He digs her so much he breaks into a mansion, slaughters the occupants, pretends it's his own sweet pad and brings the painting ho to live with him. In the end...well, I'm not gonna ruin it but it's worth sticking around for. This is a completely 70s movie, interesting as a time piece and an early slasher. Plus, it's cheap as heck on those compilation discs with 50 or so titles.
