Nail Gun Massacre Movie Review







Nail Gun Massacre is a 1985 horror movie directed by Terry Lofton and Bill Leslie and starring Michelle Meyer, Beau Leland and Rocky Patterson.

The film starts with a young woman called Linda(Meyer) who is gang raped at a construction site.
A few months later, someone is walking into a house with a nail gun. This person shoots a man in the head with it. His wife sees it and runs away. Two men are outside chopping wood. The killer shows up and disposes of them easily. The local Sheriff Thomas(Ron Queen) finds an abandoned truck in the road. He finds the dead bodies. He calls in Doctor Rocky Jones(Patterson) to look. They wonder if it is Old Lady Bailey as the bodies were found on her land. The nail gun killer gets another victim.
Two guys and a girl are moving into a house in the area. They are going to renovate it. They are Maxine, Tom and John. Some other people show up in town looking for work. They are Hal, Ben, Ann and Trish. They go to the construction site to ask about work. They learn that there is work going on at Maxine's house, so they go there.


The Sheriff finds the killers car. The killer is on the prowl and finds Hal and Ann having sex. That means certain death! Trish and Ben are there too and they wonder where their friends went. Ben goes to see where they are and gets nailed to a tree. Trish is left alone and she meets Maxine, Tom and John and tells them that her pals have gone AWOL. They look around and find the dead bodies of Ben, Hal and Ann. They call the Sheriff and wonder what the hell is going on. The killer visits the construction site where Linda was raped and kills two of the participants. The killer then wanders around town nailing victims! Doctor Jones calls a friend of his and asks for a profile of the killer. The Sheriff investigates the construction company and realises that there is a connection with the killer.
They think that the killer could be Linda's brother, Bubba, who owns the company.


They visit Linda and they look for Bubba. The killer is still murdering people. There is a confrontation between the killer and Doctor Jones. He crashes into the killer's car. The killer bolts but they catch him. The killer ends up falling and dying before they can catch him. They unmask him and it is Bubba. Linda is shocked that her brother was the one slaughtering people with his trusty nail gun. The movie ends with them walking away. This film was funny in parts because it was so cheaply made. It was bad but in a good way. I didn't think that I would enjoy it, but it was actually entertaining for the most part. I had fun with it and I just went with it. The nail gun thing was actually a good idea, I thought. Give this a chance if you enjoy cheaply made 80's movies. It is worth a look. I will be kind and give this one a 5/10.

Thanks for the review. I don't remember seeing this one, odd since it's a mid-eighties movie. But it looks interesting and 5/10 is good enough I might give it a try. Over the years there have been some interesting nail gun scenes in horror movies, but an entire movie based on it seems too good to pass up.
