The Nail Gun Massacre
Following the brutal rape of a young woman by a gang of construction workers, a mysterious figure wearing a motorcycle helmet and driving a gold hearse begins hunting the perpetrators down. The masked avenger's weapon of choice, obviously, is a nail gun, with which he (or could it be she?) takes out the rapists one by one. Just who is this murderous vigilante?
Why it matters
A grimy, grindhouse slasher with a nail gun as its signature weapon and a mystery wrapped in vengeance.
- Early example of “tool horror” that turns a construction staple into a brutal instrument of death.
- Embodies 80s low-budget slasher grit, with rough-hewn practical effects and unapologetic sleaziness.
- Perfect for fans of vigilante justice tales and retro obscurities lurking in regional horror’s shadowy corners.
- The ambiguous identity of the killer adds a layer of unsettling mystery uncommon in straightforward slashers.
