toolbox murder be the scary american film since the ring . hooper manage the neat trick of pay homage to the slasher tradition that he himself launch so long ago with texas chainsaw massacre while also add some dimension and wit to the proceeding by virtue of a nicely detailed hollywood urban legend angle . the atmosphere be positively claustrophobic and palpably creeeeeeeeepy and and the terror which start early and brutally be unrelenting . the tech aspect of the film and from the lushly dark camera work to joseph conlan inventive and eclectic score and prove that cheap can be as good a and if not good than and a big budget extravaganza . performance be uniformly solid and especially angela bettis in the classic scream queen role and juliet landau and finally get some post buffy work . great scary stuff .
