Sure Dr. Chopper is low budget, but the acting is good and the story has some really tense moments and a few great scares and a wow of a twist and is total fun!
This movie is a throwback to the hey-day of 80's slasher films! And boy, how I did not realize how much I missed them. This movie is every bit as good as any Friday The 13th, Halloween or Nightmare On Elm Street! In fact it's better because it has a plot and the killer is not just a mindless maniac who cannot die! He's a plastic surgeon who has taken his desire to remain young and beautiful too far. The movie is a metaphor for our greedy, celebrity, youth obsessed, plastic surgery mad culture. Dr. Chopper has a point of view and lets the viewer decide which side of the debate he/she falls on. Is the discovery of eternal life and youth worth a few dead sex obsessed teenagers? That's for you to decide, but damn if this movie didn't scare and excite me more than all of this summer's big budget junk! See Dr, Chopper!
