chribren "Hellroller" is direct-to-video Z-grade horror film from 1992, directed by Gary J. Levinson.Basic plot: Eugene (Ron Litman), a homeless angry maniac who's sitting on a wheelchair, gets to know that his mother is actually an aunt, and that his real mom gave birth to Eugene as a result of getting raped by Siamese twins. After the aunt's disappearance, Eugene sets out to take revenge on the society and the "beautiful people", mostly hot chicks who look like prostitutes.Compared to the standard horror serial killers most of us people know about today (Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger etc.), I pretty liked the idea about a serial killer on a wheelchair. This is not something you get to see often. The plot itself of the film was also a good idea.But then there's the amateurish content; How the scenes of very bloody killings were made were pretty poorly done, as especially the first killings were made off-screen. We mostly see the aftermath of the said killings. Speaking about 'kill', my favorite scene in this movie has to be when Eugene impales two prostitutes at once. I really liked the ending too.Also, was it really necessary to have an at least six minutes of Michelle Bauer training and bathing, and later an another six minutes of porn star Hyapatia Lee dancing, stripping and taking a shower before anything happens? I mean, they look somewhat sexy, I have to admit that. But honestly I felt as if these two scenes were made just to stretch out the film's running time.It should also be noted that director Gary J. Levinson didn't only directed the film, he also wrote, produced and even acted in this film. In the film he played as Donald who's first seen taking Eugene's wheelchair down from a trash container.This film is not available in Norway. But if you like the original idea about a serial killer on wheelchair, no matter how bad the scenes of violence were made, I would recommend you to find and track down this film. Because of the said idea and the way the violence was made in this film in general, I'll have to give this film a rating 6/10.
vindyla Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer low-budget horror movies, and I like story lines that haven't been done to death. "Hellroller" is a one-of-a-kind horror classic, about a serial killer in a wheelchair! The actor who plays the killer, is awesome, and the rest of the cast is just about every horror scream-queen who's ever lived. Michelle Bauer is there, and she ends up naked, as does porn star Hyapatia Lee. Also in the amazing cast is Mary Woronov, Elizabeth Kaitan, and Ruth Collins. Aside from one of the greatest casts ever in any horror film, "Hellroller" has all out amazing makeup effects. Many of the killings are way out there, like double impalement, ironing to death, disembowelment, mouth-stabbing and more. I've watched this movie five times, and I can't seem to get enough of it. Okay, it isn't a big budget movie, but it is a gorefest, with better effects than many of the big studio horror films. The guy who directed this has been involved in producing several horror films, including "Evil Spawn," "Cannibal Hookers," and "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." He also has parts in these and other horror movies. He was one of the zombies in "Shock Waves." I'd heard about "Hellroller" for years, from horror fans who either love it or hate it. If you see it, you'll probably love it or hate it, but you'll never forget it. It is that farout, and I haven't even mentioned the redneck siamese twins!
JHC3 Hellroller features Ron Litman as Eugene, an angry and unstable, wheelchair- bound paraplegic. Eugene lives on the streets of Los Angeles with his mother (Woronov). Shortly before her disappearance, she reveals to him that she isactually his aunt and that his birth was the result of a rape. Her disappearance prompts Eugene to commence a killing spree. He is angry at society, women,and...well...pretty much everything else. The film is peopled with repugnant characters that do repugnant things for repugnant reasons (or no reason at all). The filmmakers apparently thought this would make for campy, humorousentertainment. Instead, the picture only succeeds in being boring, insulting, and irritating. This is definitely one of the worst movies ever made, even by low budget standards.
yraggx I stumbled on "Hellroller" in the cult section of a video store. The box was amazing, so I figured I'd check it out. I'd heard of this movie, and the plot, a serial killer in a wheelchair, is definitely unique. I wasn't dissapointed. It starts out fast, and is non-stop, one beautiful chick after another getting slaughtered by the wheelchair killer, who does them in in lots of weird ways, like spearing two at once, ironing to death, disembowelment, mouth-stabbing and more. In between the killings, Michelle Bauer and porno-star Hyapatia Lee get naked. Unlike many big-budget movies, "Hellroller" has no filler at all--it's non-stop from beginning to end. It's incredibly original, a very sick horror classic, with amazing makeup effects. It's one of a handful of my favorite horror films that I have to watch over and over again. This one is worth tracking down, especially with the amazing cast that includes Mary Woronov, Elizabeth Kaitan, Ruth Collins, and Johnny Legend.
