Let's break this title down .....


No meatcleaver was used.
Also...there were no massacres. Where did the title come from?

I don't think I have ever séén a (supposedly) horror movie this tame and lame. Crap FX, crap actors, crap editing, crap plot...need I go on?
Happy to say I sold the dvd to some poor soul on eBay.

They were cashing in on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre title. Many horror films post-TCM used similar sounding titles, which is why we ended up with titles that either featured a weapon in it- Axe, nail gun, meatcleaver, and/or Massacre in the title- Nail Gun Massacre, Slumber Party Massacre...and some used a State like California Axe Murders.

SPOILERS!!!

I saw "The Hollywood Meat Cleaver Massacre", a midnight double-feature (I don't think that they exist anymore) with the original "Night of the Living Dead" in Nanuet, NY, with my folks when I was 13.

I guess I might have thought that "The Hollywood Meat Cleaver Massacre" was an okay flick back then (it was a long time ago), but I was thinking, "What the fark! They all had butcher knives and there was not even one meat cleaver!"

Even at such a young age, I felt cheated that there were no meat cleavers!

I'll take your word for it that the movie sucked, and I don't reckon that I'll be looking to purchase it any time soon.

Thanks for the lowdown!


Cheers...
