Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Leofwine_draca MURDER WEAPON is a cheap and quickly-shot horror flick of 1989, made by David DeCoteau. It's a lot better than his other housebound horrors made more recently, such as the terminally bad '1313' series of the early 2010s. This one features a prominent turn for the often-naked Linnea Quigley; she plays one of a bunch of characters holed up in a house where a mysterious killer is violently dispatching most of the male guests. There are femme fatales here, silly over the top sex scenes, endless nudity, and one amusingly grotesque death scene inspired by a similar one in Friday the 13th. It's cheesy and trashy for sure, but for DeCoteau it's actually semi-decent.

Woodyanders Cunning and deadly rich mobster's daughter Dawn (Linnea Quigley at her most sly and adorable) gets sent to an asylum after she murders her sister and her sister's boyfriend. While in the nut house Dawn befriends fellow mafia princess Amy (luscious brunette Karen Russell). After they both get released from the sanitarium, the two hook up and hold a party in which they invite all of their ex-boyfriends. Naturally, the killing soon begins anew. Director David DeCouteau, working from a blithely tacky and convoluted script by Ross A. Perron, covers all the satisfyingly sleazy B-movie bases: Plentiful gratuitous female nudity, a couple of raunchy soft-core sex scenes, cheesy and unconvincing gore, hopelessly terrible acting, a thrashy rock soundtrack, a leering lurid tone, and several gloriously ridiculous murder set pieces (one guy has his heart punched out of his chest and shoved into his mouth!). The ever-cute and vibrant Quigley has a ball with her seductive and duplicitous evil bitch role. Token big name Lyle Waggoner pops up in a few drawn-out flashbacks as well-meaning, but ineffectual shrink Dr. Randolph. Moreover, it's a real hoot to see Eric Freeman (Ricky in "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2") as slimy jerk Jeff. Del Casher's droning synthesizer score, the plodding pace, Michael Seaman's plain cinematography, and the absurdly jumbled narrative all further enhance this flick's considerable so-clunky-it's-downright-funky crappy charm. Enjoyable dreck.

ManBehindTheMask63 "Murder Weapon" has a very misleading cover. The film looks like it's suppose to be some kind of action film, like a female lethal weapon. But "Murder Weapon" is a low-budget slasher/thriller that centers around two recently released mental patients (who also happen to have connections to the mob) who invite their ex's over for a party in their mansion. One by one the ex's are killed off by a mysterious killer.If you've seen any of David DeCoteau's work ("Nightmare Sisters", "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama") than you know what to expect. Lots of nudity and low budget production values. You get two sex scenes in the first 10 minutes. Linnea Quigley (who also earned a producing credit on this convoluted thriller) stars as ex-patient Dawn. Linnea strips nude through out and has a cool sex scene where she seems to almost ride a guy to death. She spends most of film's run time walking around in a leopard swimsuit with see through top. The other half of the psycho-duo is played by Karen Russell, who spends the first 5 minutes of the film oiling her body(more annoying than erotic). She spends most the film suffering from narcolepsy and dreaming about her psychologist.Surprisingly, "Murder Weapon" does feature some pretty nice gore scenes. Heads explode by gunshot, faces get crushed by sledgehammers, broken bottles get shoved into throats. There's a particularly cool death scene (that doesn't make a lick of sense) that involves a hand bursting through a man's chest while he's lying in bed.The dialog in the film is pretty amusing. The conversations between the male characters are often pretty humorous. The character of Kevin has some great lines. A scene in which Kevin screams like a girl when he sees the killer approaching the car with a pistol had me laughing out loud. I thought after "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2" filmmakers would realize that there is nothing scary about a man screaming like a woman.Overall, it may be the best DeCoteau film I've seen (strangely, he used a pseudonym). Linnea's nude scenes are some of the best she's done and the gore is wet."Murder Weapon" features flashbacks within dream sequences, a sting in the tale ending, Ricky from "Silent Night, Deadly Night 2", a Richard Greico wannabe, leg shaving, and voyeurism.Till next time horror hounds and fright fanatics, beware the darkness...

currax This movie is a bad movie. But after watching an endless series of bad horror movies, I can say that it is a little different from many I have seen. Not in the plot, which is a fairly regular slasher story, but more the way the scenes are cut. Murder Weapon gives us a lot of inane dialogue scenes, but they go on for a lot longer than in most movies of this type. Because of this some of the victims seem slightly less like cardboard cut-outs. Just slightly. I had a difficult time figuring out exactly what was happening at the beginning and kept wondering if certain events were dream sequences. My favorite scene is when two guys are on the run from the killer and take refuge in a car. In the glove compartment, they find a handgun. "Thank you, God!" one of them happily exclaims. That guy's head suddenly looks like a mannequin's head, and it went on for just enough time for me to wonder, "What is that? Where is that mannequin in relation to the two guys in the car?" Then BOOM! The head explodes and I figured out that it was supposed to be one of the guys in the car getting his head shot off with a shotgun. I love that scene, but the movie is a very bad movie. 3/10.
