As a big fan of horror and independent movies, I have been looking forward to Chainsaw Sally, there are cameos by both Hershell Gordon Lewis and Gunnar Hansen. They are more of small roles, but, not big enough that I want to discard the cameo title.- However, this movie carries it's own and the cameos are just a fun element thrown in for fun. That Gunnar Hansen, is Sallys father is more of a tribute to the old Texas chainsaw than a name, to draw audiences in -also, because even to this day, it is surprisingly few who actually know who Gunnar Hansen is. (weird) I definitely think we have a new cult icon on our hands here with Chainsaw Sally, she speaks both to punk, and goths alike, and she blends the style adding lots of blood.This was only the first movie, and I bet that with the sequel, she will have planted herself much more firmly into many other peoples minds. The idea is simple but, April has a style of her own that adds a lot to the character, she is not just another pretty face. The acting is in the vein of Tempes films, Mark Redfield reminding of James L. Edwards. The only main flaw, is the sound, sometimes the dialogue drowns out behind sound effects, or just seems as if the microphone was too far away. Making small films myself, I know this can be a tricky problem. While I mentioned there is blood in the movie (and plenty of it) it is surprisingly gore free for i's genre. (independent horror) This was a conscious decision made by the director; to get the point across, without showing too many graphic deaths.- this method especially works with ascene involving a razor, and a sparkler. it's both fun and gross. If you are abig fan of independent horror, or just want to see something new, I definitely suggest you go see Chainsaw Sally.
