One of my all time favorites.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Woodyanders
Three kids in a dysfunctional suburban family -- mopey older brother John (writer/director Jon McBride), chipper sister Denise (perky Denice Edeal) and precious younger brother Tom (cute Tom Casiello) -- are left alone with their mean, annoying, overbearing religious fanatic old battle axe Aunt Tess (an outrageously hammy Patricia McBride) when their jolly dad (amiable Perren Page) goes away for the weekend on a business trip. Things turn sour when Tom accidentally kills the nasty old bat. The three siblings dispose of her corpse by stuffing it in a woodchipper. Matters are complicated when no-count sleazeball cousin Kim (a perfectly slimy Kim Bailey) comes poking around looking for Aunt Tess. Boy, does this alarmingly atrocious, but often uproarious and thus oddly enjoyable ghastly marvel possess all the right so wonderfully wretched stuff to rate as a total four-star stinkeroonie: hopelessly amateurish acting from a game no-name cast, plodding (non)direction, a slight, talky script, poky pacing, cruddy shot-on-grainy-video photography, hissy sound quality, a mechanically bouncy score, hilariously horrible dialogue ("We?! What's all this we stuff? You're the one that killed her!"), a gleefully deranged sense of pitchblack humor, and a meandering story. Moreover, there's a playfully dark and deviant oddball sensibility evident throughout which not only makes the whole movie feel like a third-rate drawn-out sitcom pilot gone seriously mental, but also gives this picture an undeniable kooky charm that's impossible to dislike. A so sick and shoddy that it's paradoxically spectacular sidesplitting riot.

I liked this movie. It was entertaining and I thought it was funny. Not much gore but still if you have an imagination then use it. The lady that played Aunt Tess gets the bitch of the year award. The teenage girl is a total airhead and the little boy is a cute dork who tries very hard to be professional and not laugh during a few scenes. I have seen a lot of crap and I must say that this movie is a gem compared to some movies I have scene. This is not the worst movie ever made. If you want that one then rent AXE EM! Even MONSTURD is better than AXE EM! If you are the kind of person who often picks up crappy movies and endures them, then you will find this one to be a real treat, a breath of fresh air if you will.Why this movie is the best five bucks Ive spent in years!I say it is a keeper!

**May Contain Spoilers**Oh, boy, just what the world neededanother fright flick from Donna Michelle Productions, the same outfit that gave us CANNIBAL CAMPOUT. Director McBride himself plays a lad who, along with brother Tom Casiello and sister Denice Edeal, are left in the care of their bitchy Aunt Tess. Tessie objects to everything that's fun including trashy horror flicks like this one. Matters come to a head when young Tom receives a Rambo survival knife in the mail and the old bag catches him with it. "You give that to me!" she screeches, so of course he does about five inches of steel right in the gizzard. Denice looks down at the bloody corpse and cheerfully chirps, "Now you'll never get that ten-speed!" There's the slight matter of what to do with the body, and how to deal with a nosy intruder, until the kiddies remember the handy wood-chipper in the back yard. Unlike CANNIBAL CAMPOUT this flick is deliberately dopey and doesn't take itself at all seriously. The fact that the young actors emote like students in a school pageant only adds to the hilarity. It's also more restrained in the gore department; as with many "massacre" movies the lurid title makes it seem more horrible than it actually is. By the way, Tess is played by Patricia McBride; could it be that Jon's whole family is as sick as he is? I certainly hope so! One of Aunt Tess's gripes is that horror movies incite people to violence. This movie, based on a real case in Connecticut, proves that art, especially bad art, imitates life instead.

This movie was shot on video in 1988 as Jon McBrides second feature. Shot on a Panasonic AG-450 S-VHS camcorder, and using local actors, friends and family Jon made a masterpiece. Well written and scored by Jon, the video was edited and distributed nationally in 1989. I rented this movie in the early 90's and it inspired me to take my hobby of video and take it another level. When I realized that anyone with the talent and ambition could actually make a movie and have it out there for millions to see I pursued television. Jon went on to make many other movies and appear in several other TV shows, Soaps, and even a Michael Jackson video! Little Tommy grew up to be an Emmy award winning writer for daytime drama. Jon had a good eye for talent. Most recently, WOODCHIPER MASSACRE was featured on the national syndicated show, "Videobob's Stupid Movie of the Week". The was a hit and one of the best ratings grabber for the show. - VB
