Hellroller (1992)

Eugene is a homeless serial killer on a wheelchair.He is bitter and angry.After mom's disappearance Eugene learns that his mom is actually his aunt and that his birth was actually the result of a gang-rape by Siamese Twins.I ain't kidding.This is the start of Eugene's killing spree..."Hellroller" is a hideously bad and dreadfully boring horror film with some of the worst acting I have ever seen.I am quite tolerant person,when it comes to grade-Z cinema,but apart from two scenes of nudity provided by Michelle Bauer and Hyapatia Lee there is nothing to enjoy in "Hellroller".The acting is mind-blowingly awful,the gore is amateurish and the killings are laughable.They include disembowellings,double spearing,mouth stabbing and even the scene,when one victim is ironed to death.I still haven't seen "Killer Klowns from Kansas on Krack" or "The Dark Harvest",but "Hellroller" is certainly in my top five of the worst horror films ever made.1 out of 10.

Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer low-budget horror movies, and I like story lines that haven't been done to death. "Hellroller" is a one-of-a-kind horror classic, about a serial killer in a wheelchair! The actor who plays the killer, is awesome, and the rest of the cast is just about every horror scream-queen who's ever lived. Michelle Bauer is there, and she ends up naked, as does porn star Hyapatia Lee. Also in the amazing cast is Mary Woronov, Elizabeth Kaitan, and Ruth Collins. Aside from one of the greatest casts ever in any horror film, "Hellroller" has all out amazing makeup effects. Many of the killings are way out there, like double impalement, ironing to death, disembowelment, mouth-stabbing and more. I've watched this movie five times, and I can't seem to get enough of it. Okay, it isn't a big budget movie, but it is a gorefest, with better effects than many of the big studio horror films. The guy who directed this has been involved in producing several horror films, including "Evil Spawn," "Cannibal Hookers," and "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." He also has parts in these and other horror movies. He was one of the zombies in "Shock Waves." I'd heard about "Hellroller" for years, from horror fans who either love it or hate it. If you see it, you'll probably love it or hate it, but you'll never forget it. It is that farout, and I haven't even mentioned the redneck siamese twins!

Hellroller features Ron Litman as Eugene, an angry and unstable, wheelchair- bound paraplegic. Eugene lives on the streets of Los Angeles with his mother (Woronov). Shortly before her disappearance, she reveals to him that she isactually his aunt and that his birth was the result of a rape. Her disappearance prompts Eugene to commence a killing spree. He is angry at society, women,and...well...pretty much everything else. The film is peopled with repugnant characters that do repugnant things for repugnant reasons (or no reason at all). The filmmakers apparently thought this would make for campy, humorousentertainment. Instead, the picture only succeeds in being boring, insulting, and irritating. This is definitely one of the worst movies ever made, even by low budget standards.

***SLIGHT SPOILERS*** For the better part of two years now, I have been hunting for the worst horror movie ever made. First, I thought it was "The Crawlers" (aka "Troll 3"). Then, I though it was "Horror House on Highway Five", which left "The Crawlers" in the dust in terms of sheer badness. But now I have seen the light, and I recognize the fact that the Absolute Worst Horror Movie Ever Made is "Hellroller".First of all, I'm stumped as to what this thing was actually shot on. It's not film, but it doesn't look like video either. All of the visual effects anybody can do with a standard camcorder and home computer film editor. And it's chock-full of bad blaxploitation-style editing, where it's painfully obvious that a scene was shot at two or more completely different times, and the actors are not in the same place from one shot to the next.The movie itself is about a wheelchair-bound homeless maniac with a bad twitch who wants to get revenge on the 'beautiful people'. I'm all but convinced that most of the cast was played by actual bums and prostitutes, which explains why some of the acting seems actually to be good because the people are just playing themselves. The murder scenes are nothing but laughable, the best being when the 'Hellroller' rams a blunt stick straight through two prostitutes' chests. The opening scene involves a flashback to the Hellroller's childhood when his crackwhore mother gets raped and killed by Siamese twin rednecks (you can probably guess how the twins' 'effect' was done). On top of that, the rest of the movie is supposed to be 20 or so years after that, but the Siamese rednecks are still alive and are servants to another character called 'The King of Bums'. The same actor who plays 'The King of Bums' also plays a mad doctor whom the Hellroller hires to invent a potion that turns ordinary people into bums (I swear I'm not making this up). Hellroller then somehow poisons LA's entire bottled water supply (not tap water, only bottled water because that is what the rich people drink), upon which everyone - even the newsanchors at KRAP 69 - amazingly transform into bums. On top of all this, the movie also includes two extended mindless scenes of a woman (Michelle Bauer) doing aerobics and another woman dancing alone in her room, apparently added in order to push the movie's length past the one hour mark.But that's it. Right here and right now, I announce that my search for the worst horror movie ever made is over, because it is "Hellroller". There still might be a worse movie than this one somewhere out there, but I don't think I have the will to find it, or even to watch it. I'm afraid that if I ever see a movie worse than "Hellroller", it would cause me to lose all the rest of my faith in humanity.
