The 1990 splatterific horror flick Luther the Geek comes to Blu-ray in a new Tromatic Special Edition!

A young country boy is plunged into the depths of homicidal madness after witnessing the strange exploits of a carnival “geek,” a caged drunk so desperate for whisky that he bites the heads off live chickens in front of a freak show audience. Thirty years later, Luther (Edward Terry) is all grown up and out on parole, after spending his childhood behind bars for a series of grisly murders. Armed with only a pair of razor-sharp metal dentures and only able to communicate through chicken clucks, Luther restarts his bloody rampage as he terrorizes the citizens of a small town and takes a young mother and her family hostage in their isolated farmhouse.

Featuring a nutty, over-the-top ending and a sexy supporting turn by Stacy Haiduk, Luther the Geek is good gory fun in the tradition of Troma’s The Toxic Avenger.

  • Original Lloyd Kaufman DVD Intro
