Luther The Geek (1990)


A geek is a carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken. Luther takes things a bit further and uses his razor-sharp metal dentures to bite the necks of humans. As a child he witnessed a geek locked in a cage bite the head off a chicken for the amusement of the townsfolk. Amazed by this ghastly act he is never the same again. Thirty years later after being imprisoned for committing a series of grisly murders Luther is out on parole. The first place he goes is the local super market where he eats some raw eggs and steels a pair of sunglasses. The manager calls the police and chases him out of the store where he attacks an old woman and kills her. A cop shows up and Luther hides in the backseat of a woman's car. The woman drives home to her isolated farmhouse with Luther in the back, unbeknownst to her.

The rest of the film consists of Luther terrorizing the woman, her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend. There is a decent amount of gore in the film. We get to see multiple scenes of neck biting, a disembowelment, a shotgun blast to the chest and more. Another thing to point out is that Luther never talks, he just clucks like a chicken. I thought this worked well for the film and added a creepy element to the character. This review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the babe who plays the daughter. This chick has the most awesome rack ever and we see it displayed in all it's glory during her shower scene. If nothing else you should watch the movie for this reason alone. Luther The Geek is a very entertaining movie filled with gore, nudity and suspense. It's a shame it was so overlooked and stayed under the radar for so long. I loved the movie and I would suggest any horror fan buy a copy. You won't be dissapointed.
