Meatcleaver Massacre (1976) – Evan Lee.

Four murderous suburban misfits break into noted occultist Professor Cantrell's luxurious abode, and once inside, they brutally, unthinkingly slay all the occupants, and the comatose, only barely sentient professor resists, vengefully calling upon ancient demon Morak to avenge him! Owing a debt to ozploitation gem Patrick, this low budget, appealingly loopy, frequently hallucinatory admixture of demonic, Manson-esque mayhem, and grainy L.A sleaze, remains a bloody, frequently entertaining example of 70s indie horror eccentricity. While Meatcleaver Massacre aka Professor Cantrell's Messiah is not one of the more immediately recognisable 70s blood-spillers, like Scream Bloody Murder, Axe, or Three on a Meathook it has deservedly been rediscovered through ransom midnight TV screenings, dubious DVD/DVD-R releases, enthusiastic online praise, Meatcleaver Massacre finally lands an unexpectedly handsome-looking Blu-ray release. While the projects multiple production woes are occasionally self-evident, much of the inherently goofy supernatural premise remains intact, with legendary icon Christopher Lee's doom-laden intro/outro lending an additionally portentous patina of deliciously contrived exploitation ballyhoo. The 'enthusiastic' performances, bravura guerilla film-making antics, and inventive kills are, for me, no small part of Meatcleaver Massacre's continued B-Slasher relevance!
