Synopsis

A murderous drug addict driven insane by the demonic voice of his evil ventriloquist dummy sets out on a gore-soaked killing spree in this independent shocker from director Ron Atkins. Insanity is calling and Harry Russo is more than happy to answer by slicing, dicing, filleting and splaying anyone who gets in the way of his quest to achieve a state of complete mental chaos. Harry is not alone on his journey of destruction though, and as his villainous ventriloquist dummy offering a bit of immoral support, the stage is set for some serious bloodletting!

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
rwagn This film gives independent and guerrilla film-making a bad name. Truly a no talent affair across the boards. I've seen high school project movies that are a better caliber. Pure and utter crap not in the same vein as Ed Wood or Andy Milligan but true excrement. The lead "actor" instead of being evil or fearsome instead inspires guffaws of laughter as we watch him mince around naked or in lingerie with his junk exposed. This refugee from the Village People also appears to be a semi-clubfoot in reality. Watching him lope around and run with that weird gait indicates this was not an affectation of character but a real handicap. His many rants on sodomy appear to be from real life and not from script. I noticed he is given credit for additional dialog so maybe..... This is pure caca, wait, it's what I call "leavins'-the stuff that remains in the toilet bowl after the flush has completed.
fertilecelluloid A "friend", clearly with no taste or class, suggested I take a look at the work of Ron Atkins. If this is representative of his oeuvre, I never want to see anything else by him. It is amateurish, self-indulgent, criminally shoddy and self-indulgent rubbish. The "whore mangler" of the title is an angry low budget filmmaker who murders a bunch of hookers. There is a little nudity and some erections, but no single element could possibly save this from the hangman's noose. The lighting is appalling, the dialog is puerile and mostly shouted, and the direction is clueless. I saw a doco on American exploitation filmmakers during the recent Fangoria convention. Atkins was one of those featured. He spoke like there was something important about his work, but after a viewing of this, I see nothing of any import whatsoever. There is no style, either, and the horrible video effects (like solarization) only enhance the amateurishness. Not even so bad it's fun. Avoid.
insomniac_rod 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.
stetheboro Did you ever wonder how far one movie could go? Schizophreniac relentlessly explores the world of the extreme with Harry Russo. Harry is an aggravated writer, killer and drug addict scumbag who will stop at nothing to destroy those who stand between him and insanity. Driven by the demonic voices of his ventriloquist dummy rubberneck, Harry begins his killing spree. From director Ron Atkins comes the 1st installment of the vilest story ever to be filmedThe only other movie I have seen similar to this would happen to be the 2nd installment entitled Schizophreniac NecromaniacThis is a really low budget film and will not be for everyone, but if you are looking for something disturbing, different and horrific then this would make a fine choice.DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING LIKE MODERN DAY HORROR (Such as Scream)Viewer discretion is advised
