Luther the Geek
A psychotic killer convicted of multiple murders is released on parole after spending twenty years in prison. His psychosis immediately takes over and he goes on a killing spree.
Why it matters
A grimy, grindhouse-flavored slasher that turns a killer’s metal dentures into a weapon of gruesome ingenuity.
- Cult favorite in the low-budget 80s slasher wave, mixing Midwest isolation with unhinged, practical-effect violence.
- The titular “Geek” is a grotesque throwback to carnival freakshow killers—part body horror, part relentless brute.
- Filmed over five weeks with a scrappy charm that beats many contemporaries on atmosphere and gore.
- Perfect for fans of grindhouse grit and off-kilter slasher oddities who don’t mind rough edges in exchange for raw, unsettling fun.
