Actually, all private detective Jack Chandler (Jay Richardson) was
hired to do was to bring teenage runaway Samantha (Linnea Quigley) back to
her parents, and the chainsaw killings taking place all over town should
leave him unfazed ... but when he has almost hit the jackpot and finds the
girl dancing in a strip joint, he is drugged by his date, prostitute
Mercedes (Michelle Bauer), and when he comes to, he finds himself tied to
a bed, with a few sexy women - Samantha among them - carrying chainsaws
leaning over him. They threaten to cut him apart violently when their
master, high priest of the chainsaw (Gunnar Hansen) interferes. Apparently
there's a chainsaw worshipping evil cult in town that has originated from
ancient Egypt, and they want to make Jack their supreme sacrifice at
Samantha's initiation. Samantha though has joined the cult undercover to
destroy it from within, and she helps Jack escape - to little avail,
because the two of them almost immediately get themselves back into the
clutches of the cult again, and in the finale, it seems as if Samantha was
to saw Jack open after all - when she instead turns her chainsaw on the
high priest to cut him apart, and Mercedes too in a chainsaw duel. The
rest of the cultists flee, to be collected by the police, while Jack gets
the girl - Samantha that is.
A very silly little movie with a
plot that's little more than a hanger to show some blood and lots of boobs
- thing is though, co-writer/director Fred Olen Ray is very much aware of
that and pokes fun at it constantly, making this film not your usual
1980's slasher but a film noir-inspired sex-horror-comedy. True
though, Fred Olen Ray is not enough of a director to make all of the
aspects of his film work properly, and the budget of the movie was to low
to give it the scope it could have needed, but it's still a rather
humourous little movie that is a good deal funnier (and sexier) than most
of Hollywood's current big budget genre parodies.
