The Toolbox Murders
Bit by bit...By bit he carved a nightmare!
Directed by Dennis Donnelly
Produced by Tony DiDio Productions, Cal-Am Productions
A brutal, tension-soaked slasher built on graphic tool-based murders and the hunt for an abducted girl, driven by visceral dread rather than psychological depth.
A serial killer, plagued by the memory of a fatal car accident, uses various tools to murder female tenants of a Los Angeles apartment complex, then abducts a teenaged girl who lives there with her family. When the police express doubt that the murders are connected to the girl's disappearance, her brother sets out to search for her on his own.
