amishgoat The only reason I even gave it a 1 out of 10 is because the option to give it zero out of 10 was not allowed. This was the biggest waste of time I've ever endured. For roughly 75 minutes, you are subjected to the WORST acting (and I don't mean that in a good way either, like as in KILLER NERD which had great horrible acting) and a plot that is not only ridiculous but also has absolutely NOTHING to do with a massacre. The reason I even rented this piece of crap was because it has massacre in the title. That said, there was only one killing in the entire movie and it was pretty lame at that. You spend more time watching the kids bickering and doing yard work than anything. Speaking of the kids, the little boy actor is probably the most irritating child actor since bob from house by the cemetery. Did I mention it was shot on video as well? If you want to throw away money and over an hour of your life, then by all means watch it. But if you savor your hard earned dollars and time, then stray as far away as possible.

Backlash007 Oh my god!! I'm a firm believer that bad movies can be good fun, but this is awful. The Woodchipper Massacre brings the horror film to a new low. There is not a doubt in my mind that this is one of the worst pieces of crap ever filmed. The acting, the music, the sweaters...I can't even describe it. It's obvious that it's just a couple of kids messing around with a home video recorder and thought they'd make a movie. I don't think you can really call it a movie though. The Woodchipper Massacre is a disgrace to B-movies everywhere. It's easily worse than Bloody Murder, and that's saying a lot. How this got distributed I'll never know. This is a major candidate for the title "worst movie ever made." It definitely gets my seal of approval.

Flixer1957 **May Contain Spoilers**Oh, boy, just what the world needed–another fright flick from Donna Michelle Productions, the same outfit that gave us CANNIBAL CAMPOUT. Director McBride himself plays a lad who, along with brother Tom Casiello and sister Denice Edeal, are left in the care of their bitchy Aunt Tess. Tessie objects to everything that's fun including trashy horror flicks like this one. Matters come to a head when young Tom receives a Rambo survival knife in the mail and the old bag catches him with it. "You give that to me!" she screeches, so of course he does– about five inches of steel right in the gizzard. Denice looks down at the bloody corpse and cheerfully chirps, "Now you'll never get that ten-speed!" There's the slight matter of what to do with the body, and how to deal with a nosy intruder, until the kiddies remember the handy wood-chipper in the back yard. Unlike CANNIBAL CAMPOUT this flick is deliberately dopey and doesn't take itself at all seriously. The fact that the young actors emote like students in a school pageant only adds to the hilarity. It's also more restrained in the gore department; as with many "massacre" movies the lurid title makes it seem more horrible than it actually is. By the way, Tess is played by Patricia McBride; could it be that Jon's whole family is as sick as he is? I certainly hope so! One of Aunt Tess's gripes is that horror movies incite people to violence. This movie, based on a real case in Connecticut, proves that art, especially bad art, imitates life instead.

videobob1 This movie was shot on video in 1988 as Jon McBrides second feature. Shot on a Panasonic AG-450 S-VHS camcorder, and using local actors, friends and family Jon made a masterpiece. Well written and scored by Jon, the video was edited and distributed nationally in 1989. I rented this movie in the early 90's and it inspired me to take my hobby of video and take it another level. When I realized that anyone with the talent and ambition could actually make a movie and have it out there for millions to see I pursued television. Jon went on to make many other movies and appear in several other TV shows, Soaps, and even a Michael Jackson video! Little Tommy grew up to be an Emmy award winning writer for daytime drama. Jon had a good eye for talent. Most recently, WOODCHIPER MASSACRE was featured on the national syndicated show, "Videobob's Stupid Movie of the Week". The was a hit and one of the best ratings grabber for the show. - VB
