Lack of good storyline.

How sad is this?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

LUTHER THE GEEK is the usual indie-trash comedy horror nonsense put out by Troma, about a killer who wears metal teeth to bite his victims and goes around clucking like a chicken due to childhood trauma. It's pretty random, it has to be said, but it has a bit more skill behind it than some indies I could mention (namely KILLER NERD), and the crew do a decent job in convincing you of the film's world setting. It's not an overly gory movie although it has its moments, and there's also a gratuitous sex scene added to the mix.

...and they both belong to Stacy Haiduk! Largely a piece of garbage, this low-budget horror film is only memorable today due to the wonderful nude scenes of beautiful Stacy Haiduk. The story is about a freak who clucks and bites the heads off of people. Basically it's a slasher only the weapon of choice for the killer is metal teeth this time. Anyway, nobody cares about this movie's stupid plot. The selling points to this crapper are Haiduk's large breasts, which are pretty close to perfect. So sit back and enjoy what God made and surgery can never duplicate. Just remember the FF button is your friend. The DVD has more of Ms. Haiduk's glory, so check that out. A must-see for big boob enthusiasts!

Released to video in 1990, Luther The Geek is an ultra stylish and fairly offbeat horror film with a Euro style feeling that deserves to be more well known. Why is it that such a chilling and effective horror from the early 90's is so obscure when so many other, less memorable fright flicks from this era are constant fixtures on cable and in rental stores? It really makes no sense at all. Sure, people have seen this film over the years, albeit only a small amount, yet I can't ever recall seeing this film aired on cable in the 17 years following its 1990 release. Many times, these sort of films gather a following, but only a few people have seen them. Also, many times these films are quite overrated, and once more people discover them, they discover that they weren't worth all the fuss. However, this couldn't be further from the case here with Luther the Geek. With its stylish cinematography, imaginative script, classic nude scenes, above average acting, tight direction, eerie atmosphere, and vibrant score, Luther is anything but cookie cutter. It's a shame I can't say that about most of the horror films released in the early 90's. The film opens up in Illinois 1938. A young Luther is wandering around in a carnival when he soon sees a sight that will change his life forever. He comes across a man, a geek, who is locked in a cage like a wild animal. A rowdy group of men begin to taunt the geek, hoping to see some action. As the men grow more abusive, Luther is shoved from behind. H is mouth in injured. The geek proceeds to bite into the neck of a chicken. He drops the chicken inside his cage and moves as close to the group of men as he can get. As he does this, he vomits blood from his mouth to the shock of the crowd. Luther suddenly realizes that his two front teeth have become dislodged from his mouth. He proceeds to make a very strange facial expression, similar to the one that the geek had on his face moments earlier. Luther goes to the cage, places his hand on the corpse of the bloody chicken, and proceeds to taste it. Present day, Luther is a convicted murderer at a parole board hearing is scheduled, one that sets him free. After causing a commotion at a grocery store, he mortally wounds a poor woman. Luther hasn't been out of prison even a single day and he already has killed an innocent lady!! Luther ducks into the back of an automobile parked outside the supermarket. A woman, in her early forties, proceeds to load her bags of groceries inside the trunk of the same car. Upon reaching home, she hears a noise outside. The woman can only watch on in horror as Luther makes his way towards her. She manages to scream before being knocked out by Luther. When she wakes up, she is terrified to learn that she is laying face down on a bed, tied to it. Each arm and leg is bound to the bed tightly with fabric. To make matters worse, he daughter has returned from school with her boyfriend. Not only is the woman in grave danger, but two others face potential death. The pacing here is perfect. We are not even 15 minutes into the movie and we already have so more many memorable scenes. What will happen next? Will the three of them be killed? The next 70 minutes of this movie are among the most tension filled scenes ever captured in a horror film. Edward Terry is unbelievably good as Luther, a totally ruthless killer with a childlike fascination with death. Although Edward remains silent for a majority of the film, he is quite effective and more than a bit scary. His facial expressions and body movements fit the film perfectly. He prows around with a certain presence that is quite unsettling. Luther is the epitome of madness and Edward portrays him as if he was put on earth to do the work of the devil. Supporting cast all turn in fine performances. The film is noteworthy for the debut of drop dead gorgeous Stacy Haiduk. It's so sad her film appearances are so few. Stacy fabulous body is hard to forget once you see it displayed in this film. As soon as she arrives in the house, she strips down to her underwear and the camera lovingly lingers close up on all of her best parts. In the following scene, Stacy's body is fully displayed as she and Thomas Mills soap up in a shower. In the DVD version of this film, there are additional shots of this classic scene. You see multiple takes of the same scene, including shots of Thomas rubbing soap on every conceivable part of her well muscled body. Carl Albright, the director does a commendable job. The wonderful rural location work to the films advantage. Albright seems assured behind the camera, creating tension and atmosphere, yet keeps the action moving along at a brisk pace. Does this film have problems? Sure. First, Luther watches the geek when he was a kid, but that scene took place in the 30's, so he would be 60 in 1990! When Stacy's character returns home, she doesn't think it's odd that the window in the door to the house is smashed in. She chalks it up to her mom forgetting her keys! Also, no parole board would release a man as criminally insane as Luther, as he is not fit for civilized society. Those flaws aside, you'll regret not seeking out this film if you ever find it available. I look for Luther the Geek to become more popular in the years to come, as time passes more viewers will find and appreciate it.s

A man named Luther once had a bad childhood when he witnessed a real freak eating live chicken heads then he grows up to be a maniac who can talk like a chicken and wears special sharp metal dentures to rip people's flesh off. After killing an old lady outside a grocery store, he stowaways in a lady's car then takes her hostage in her farmhouse as her daughter must try to save her including her boyfriend.Violent and maniacal low budget horror thriller that works on many levels with an interesting and original storyline. The acting maybe bad even though it's a b-flick but it's got some gruesome violence with it, director Carlton J. Albright ("The Children") succeeds here to make a cult favorite and has been re-issued thanks to Troma.Also recommended: "The Hills Have Eyes" ( 1978 and 2006), " Cannibal Apocalypse", " Maniac ( 1980)", " The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", "Psycho ( 1960)", "Rabid Grannies", "Hostel", " High Tension", " Wolf Creek", " The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series including 2003 remake", " Last House on The Left", " The Toxic Avenger", "House on The Edge of the Park", " Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2", " The New York Ripper", "Scream", " Evil Dead II", "Terror Firmer", " Intruder", " Blood Diner", "Cannibal!
