Plot Outline: This ultra-low budget film chronicles a few days in the life of one Harry Russo (John Giancaspro, who also co-wrote), a nut-job who receives a Rubberneck doll from his bitch girlfriend. He starts to take orders from the doll to take massive amounts of drugs, rape and kill, not always in that order......
Review: An extreme viewing experience.
This film is like marmite. You either love it or you hate it. If you go into this film expecting a proper film with decent production values, a good plot and great characters you'll hate it. If you go into this film expecting a low budget slasher you'll probably hate it. If you go into this film expecting to see one of the most deranged characters ever put to film in the form of Harry Russo you will love it. John Giancaspro is absolutely brilliant in his over the top portrayal of the insane, murderous coke fiend.
The special effects are abysmal at best but really, who cares? If you're the kind of person who's prepared to watch a film Schizophreniac: The Whore Mangler you've undoubtedly seen scores of horror films filled with gore. With the budget this film was made for even if they had tried it probably would've mediocre at best. I'd much rather be able to laugh at something abysmal than be unaffected by the mediocre.
To sum it up, you'll probably hate this film but if you're one of the few who decide to see it anyway it'll become the best thing since sliced bread. #2 I hate marmite.
Review: Not even for lovers of low budget. More whore mangling wouldn't harm.
Well this is the perfect example of mediocre exploitation movies from the late 90's. The 70's was the decade of exploitation by excellence, the 80's had some highlights but in the 90's things got simply awful! "The Whore Mangler" is one of the worst Horror movies I've seen and that's a lot to say! The make up or f/x are as cheesy and cheap as you can get and without a doubt the producers didn't spend more than 1000 on this crap.
The killer is laughable I wonder if the actor is ashamed of this role. The guy looks like a total freak. I only dug his rape in the ass expectations. You can't say the guy had a specific meaning for life.
Please avoid this attempt of ultra low budget exploitation. There isn't even an attempt to make a decent movie. The director's vision is impossible to be understood and what about the plot? there isn't. The idea of the rubber doll telling the killer how to act is simply dull. I mean the idea is "okay" for a Horror movie but the way it develops in the movie is simply painful. Also, filled with horrid dialogs. Ugh.
