Sadly Over-hyped

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is one of those films that make me like independent horror films over mainstream Hollywood ones. Chainsaw Sally has a very simple premise. A young girl and her brother witness the brutal murder of their parents but their father (played by the great Gunnar Hansen) hands out his own brand of justice prior to dying courtesy of his trusty chainsaw. So the very young older sister raises her younger brother away from the eyes of society. Jump forward to the present and we see the grown up Sally, by day a normal librarian but by night a one woman avenging angel. Her brother is a stay home dress up kind of guy (he is neither gay nor a cross dressing person but a guy who was raised by a young girl who didn't know any other way to dress him). He keeps the house pretty while Sally saves them from evil developers, cops, and the occasional moron who didn't shut up in the library. The movies boasts great cameos from Gunnar and HG Lewis who plays the hardware store owner Mr. Gordon(take a wild guess who is his best customer for power tools). I heard about this film at least 2 years prior to it's release and have to say that it lived up to the hype. Shot and acted very well, it is a model for other independent film makers to follow. Don't over due it. Stay true to your story and let the characters take you on a great journey. I can't wait to see what Forbidden Films comes up with next.

I enjoyed this film so much! The acting was superb, the storyline really intriguing, with some genuinely funny scenes! April did an excellent job as Chainsaw Sally. She switched effortlessly from an ultra conservative librarian to a sexy chainsaw wielding maniac! I enjoyed every minute of this movie - at no point did the action drag, and the character development was great. Loved the character of Sally's brother Ruby - so outrageous and over the top. Really funny stuff. And it was great to see an appearance by Gunnar Hansen! I highly recommend this movie - if you're a fan of dark comedy/horror,you gotta check it out!

Chainsaw Sally's story is a great movie. You first get intrigued by the sweet librarian that is dark and secret enough to make you wonder what she is hiding. Some of the kill scenes were very creative and the film shows how someone who outwardly appears normal inwardly is dark and twisted. Her brother was hilarious and very entertaining to watch. Can't wait for part 2 Blood Kin. For a low budget movie there were not many miss matched scenes like you ding in other movie, the scenes flowed well and built up to the climax of the killing. The opening music and music through out fit the scenes on the screen. The flashback scene were classic home movie shots that helped the viewer understand how Sally and Ruby are the way they are.

"Chainsaw Sally" isn't your typical straight to video independent horror film. No, not at all. This one actually has something a lot of the STVs don't have...and that's heart. Remember when you would watch a low budget horror film and it meant something? Now it's time to relive those good ole days my friend, cause "Chainsaw Sally" is here.When I first saw the movie, I didn't know what to expect. OK, yeah I was hoping for a great good ole B-movie time. What I got was that and something much, much more. The acting, directing, the script, everything was just so well done, I was very impressed. The character of Sally is guaranteed to be a horror icon. When was the last time ANYONE can remember a good horror icon that was female? It's been awhile to say the least. With Chainsaw Sally you can see the chicks can totally slash just as good, if not better than some of the dudes. Also, I have a great feeling that Sally will be up there with Vampire and Elvira, and that is something of amazement.What I also noticed is that the film has a WONDERFUL pace! Never too fast, never to slow, it's just right. Sally is a librarian by day, and a psycho slasher by night...ITS ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES I TELL YA! Also, something I found refreshing was that there was no nudity. Way too many low budget, indie, B-movies rely too much on the nudity and could care less of anything else. Another character in the film that I hope people will notice and love just as much as Sally is her brother, Ruby, played AMAZINGLY by Alec Joseph. Horror fans will also notice the appearance of two genre greats : Gunnar Hansen and Herschell Gordon Lewis! That just adds to the fun and greatness of the film! The film is also very funny, but to me, was definitely more on the horror side.I wish nothing but luck to the cast and crew of Chainsaw Sally. They did a fantastic job and hope the film gets the distribution it rightfully deserves. "Chainsaw Sally" is definitely going to be a classic "B-movie", not to mention the status of Sally the character destined to be a cult horror icon. Enjoy the movie, have fun with it. You can tell they sure as hell did.
