Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Woodyanders Deranged Luther Watts (a creepy and convincing portrayal by Edward Terry) has a nasty penchant for both biting the heads off of live chickens and tearing out people's throats. Luther embarks on a murder spree in the wake of being released from prison.Writer/director Carlton J. Albright keeps the enjoyably sick and twisted story moving along at a brisk pace, vividly evokes a flavorsome rural atmosphere, generates a good deal of tension, maintains a dark and serious tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, ends the picture on a startling grim note, and further spices things up with amusing touches of pitch-black humor. As a yummy bonus, the scrumptious Stacey Haiduk bares her beautifully bountiful breasts. Vern Carlson's flesh-crawling synthesizer score hits the shuddery spot. David Knox's slick cinematography gives this film an impressive polished look. A solid and satisfying slice of horror slasher sleaze.

Darth-Helmet A man named Luther once had a bad childhood when he witnessed a real freak eating live chicken heads then he grows up to be a maniac who can talk like a chicken and wears special sharp metal dentures to rip people's flesh off. After killing an old lady outside a grocery store, he stowaways in a lady's car then takes her hostage in her farmhouse as her daughter must try to save her including her boyfriend.Violent and maniacal low budget horror thriller that works on many levels with an interesting and original storyline. The acting maybe bad even though it's a b-flick but it's got some gruesome violence with it, director Carlton J. Albright ("The Children") succeeds here to make a cult favorite and has been re-issued thanks to Troma.Also recommended: "The Hills Have Eyes" ( 1978 and 2006), " Cannibal Apocalypse", " Maniac ( 1980)", " The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", "Psycho ( 1960)", "Rabid Grannies", "Hostel", " High Tension", " Wolf Creek", " The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series including 2003 remake", " Last House on The Left", " The Toxic Avenger", "House on The Edge of the Park", " Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2", " The New York Ripper", "Scream", " Evil Dead II", "Terror Firmer", " Intruder", " Blood Diner", "Cannibal!

TrickTaylor I'm not one to comment on the directorial merits of any film. I judge movies on what they have to offer, and what they seem to be intending to be. So when commenting on a movie like Luther the Geek, re-released by Troma, you know what it is trying to be- comic horror exploitation.Luther the Geek is of higher quality script wise than one would expect. The plot, though ridiculous, isn't overly campy. Luther's uniqueness is portrayed in a manner that almost make it plausible. The gore is second rate, but some decent chills are had from the situations presented.The two winners are the actor who played Luther (sorry, too lazy to go back and check) and Stacy Haiduk, the hottie (there's only one). Ms. Haiduk, now a TV vet, but then a nubile late teen, delivers on the exploitation with a shower scene fit for rewind and pause. Her acting? Awful, but who cares. I'm not watching a movie called Luther the Geek to see fine actors.I don't want to get into plot, or staging, or whatever. For fans of the unusual LTG is a surprisingly fun romp. Might not contain enough scares to entertain true horror fans, but followers of the odd will revel it its independent spirit.

chronicbliss2 This movie has been a classic in my part of the country because it was filmed in my own small town. I now have many friends who are guards at Dixon Correctional, and I myself worked for 3 yrs at the SuperAmerica store next to the Krogers store the old lady was at. However, this is still the dumbest movie ever made, destined to be introduced by Gilbert Godfreid or Rhonda Shearer, if it hasn't been already. A bit of trivia, Illinois doesn't even have parole hearings, and Dixon Prison is a medium security facility housing burglars and vending machine vandals. The classic clucking/seduction scene is perhaps the most amusing piece of writing I've ever seen, especially with the suspenseful build-up
