Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

BA_Harrison Despite an engaging central performance from April Monique Burril as sexy schizophrenic Sally, the goth girl with a penchant for power-tool mayhem, this low budget trash horror didn't quite cut it for me, never attempting the true horror one might expect from a film that frequently references The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nor delivering the gruesome graphic splatter from one that features a cameo from none other than the 'godfather of gore' himself, Herschell Gordon Lewis.Director Jimmyo Burril, lucky spouse of leading lady April, clearly has a great love of the genre, and his script throws up plenty of suitably warped and offensive situations, but the full potential of his delightfully deviant material is often left unrealised: Sally's early murders are frustratingly gore-free, her severing of a guy's tally-whacker remains strictly out of frame (although the addition of the sparkler to the wound was a nice touch), the splattery demise of a woman forced to consume acid is regrettably brief, and some nail-gun action towards the end really could have been much nastier.Whilst the absence of in-your-face, gross-out effects can probably be put down to budgetary restraints, no such excuse can be applied to the low standard of acting from all but its attractive star or the weak stabs at dark humour.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb (although I was tempted to round it down to 4 to counterbalance the suspiciously high proportion of over-enthusiastic reviews here on IMDb).

tcoll32 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.

nankipu I've been waiting for a while to see this film. When I finally did, I was not disappointed. There's nothing that gives a horror film flavor like an angry girl with a chainsaw! The social commentary of the film,a young girl left to her own defenses by the violent death of her family, is not necessarily new. But normally we get a prostitute, or a single mother, or some other Lifetime movie channel crap. In this case,we get a girl on a rampage, who in her own twisted way believes she is doing a service to humanity by taking out the "undesirable elements".There is something cathartic about the scene in the car, when she chops off the (you know) of a womanizing redneck to teach him a lesson and sticks a sparkler in the wound where it used to be. "You wanted fireworks, baby?" I am glad to finally see a female "villain" in a film that is something more than a foolish stereotype. I'll admit that, for my taste, the gore is lacking. But what you do see is well done, well executed (no pun intended), and does not go over the top in ridiculousness. Watching the movie, you find you like Sally. You empathize with her. You want her to win. And she does.The supporting characters are a treat as well. I love the cross-dressing brother. There is something so Rocky Horror or Phantom of the Paradise about him. He doesn't go over the top. He does not"flame on" to a point where you don't believe in him. And the best part is, he's the enabler (if not one of the reasons) of her mission to take out the perceived evil of society. The real villains of the film, the greedy land developer and his nymphomaniac assistant, are flat characters. But it does not take much to want them dead. And our girl delivers in a big way.And of course, we have our hapless hero. The poor sap caught in the middle of the whole thing who has no clue what's going on. He never gets a chance to work it out for himself. This is a role normally reserved for females. There is an air of unrequited love. Maybe this guy could save poor Sally from this life of destruction and murder.Then again..maybe she does not need saving. She's perfectly happy where she is and with what she's doing.if you get a chance, see this movie! You'll thank me for it....

Suzi Lorraine 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!
