The Janitor (2003) – Andy Signore/TJ Nordaker.

Entirely contrary to the angered summation of the aggrieved tagger, I don't share the view that Lionel (Andy Signore) is a big-time asshole, perhaps, merely misunderstood? Arguably one of the most resolutely proletariat slashers, this carnage contriving custodian from hell is still righteously sticking it to the man 20 years on!!!!!! While many, quite justifiably, regard The Janitor as being merely a tremendously gory, retrograde slasher, I believe that there is some argument to suggest that it houses at least a modicum of social conscience, satirically exposing the systemic abuses of the working-class by the shadowy despotic denizens of The Hidden Hand. Janitor is a succinct title, yet it could also be called Janitors, since the narrative also concerns Lionel's fellow, and no less singular custodian compatriot Mr. Growbo (Bruce Cronander), whose shocking act of duplicity precipitates a spectacularly gruesome reprisal!

Unlike his closeted slasher confederates, one of Lionel's greatest attributes is that, he is openly, and unapologetically psychopathic, hiding in plain sight, not behind a schmendrick mask! Extremely gory, blackly funny, sublimely idiotic, deliciously crude, providing a scintillation of eye-popping nubility, and absolutely contemptuous of good taste, The Janitor is one truly mean-spirited son of a bleach! Lionel is quite happy when couples copulate, his blood is only roused when they stop! Oblivious to ethnicity, or social status, Lionel bares no prejudice, he simply lives to kill in a supremely violent manner, he couldn't give any less of a rats ass about your schmantsy postcode address; just DON'T, whatever you do, take a whizz on his work boots! When a splatter-film wallows so nakedly in its own trashiness, it can transcend its limitations, cult chunkblower The Janitor proudly wears its FU attitude like a glistering badge of honour, proving, only rarely, that you CAN miraculously polish a turd!!!
