I really liked it. Possibly one of the few good horror films of the 21st century (so far). If it's possible for a remake to be called 'original' this actually does it! Funny, since the original Toolbox was actually seen as a bad ripoff of Hooper's TCM. Perhaps Hooper and company should have omited the 'remake' associations and perhaps titled it 'The Apartment Murders', 'Massacre with Tools' or even 'The Handyman Killer'. Too bad this film got overlooked back in '03. It really could've been Tobe's big comeback.

It's been years since I have seen the Tool Box Murders I can't remember to much about what it's about other than it was rated 8 on my scale if a movie reach's 10 on my scale I will watch it over and over. It's good to know it's out on DVD i might look into getting it to see again..

Toolbox Murders was actually a decent film. The acting was good and the uneasy feeling throughout the whole thing worked out perfectly. I'm usually not big on remakes but I feel Tobe did a nice job.

One big problem I had with it was that it was so dark. And not moody and brooding-kind of dark. I mean it was hard to see because it wasn't lit. There were plenty of "jump" moments, but frankly I couldn't even be startled as I couldn't tell what the heck was going on. A guy dressed in black chasing someone barely lit in the blackness of a shadowy hotel.... yeah, pretty uneventful.

I picked up Toolbox Murders from Walmart for $5.00 and watched it. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think of it? Another really good DVD I got for $5 was called The Boneyard, which is actually just a documentary from the Discovery Channel, and the disk also includes another documentary called Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, all about the Manson murders. A very good watch. And the price is right. :) Anything else good out there?

Another really good DVD I got for $5 was called The Boneyard, which is actually just a documentary from the Discovery Channel, and the disk also includes another documentary called Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, all about the Manson murders. A very good watch. And the price is right. :)

I really liked Toolbox Murders. It really was nice to see Tobe Hooper back to what he did best. The atmosphere was creepy as was the music. Too bad it got overlooked at the time of its release as it could have been Hooper's big 'comeback'.
If you're looking for some really good 'newer' horror titles to rent you really should check out 'Wolf Creek', 'Vacancy 2: The First Cut', 'Wrong Turn', 'The Strangers' and the new 'My Bloody Valentine'.
