Dr. Chopper?
 

I just bought this for $4.88 at Wal-Mart. Looks like a typical, low-budget, direct-to-video modern slasher flick, but the backstory of the killer caught my eye. Not very original, but still an interesting concept.

Has anyone seen it? Is it any good? Did I just waste five bucks?

Never heard of it. What's this backstory?

Word for word from the back of the DVD:

"Once a prominent plastic surgeon, Dr. Chopper and his nurses keep themselves alive by harvesting body parts from those unlucky enough to stumble across them. Decades of transplants have left them hideously disfigured and insane. To survive, they need fresh body parts."

There's more on the DVD box, but thats all about Dr. Chopper himself. See what I mean? Not very original, but still a decent concept IMO.

So, have any of you actually seen it?

Looks like I'd dig it. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

lookes like something Tempe would release ..

they seem to like green covers :D

What is this, a new soft drink? Sure, give me one.

Figured I'd bump this for the hell of it...

Dr. Chopper ended up sitting on my shelf for AGES before I worked up the nerve to watch it...it was actually surprisingly enjoyable. It was far from perfect, but it was on par with most 80's slashers, which is to say that its flawed but 100% better than most modern day slasher-shit.

Fun little movie...not worth going out of your way for, but if you stumble across it in a bargain bin, its probably worth picking up.

Sounds like a paler outing of Dr Freudstein.

I ll see if I can pick it up.

I'll probably hire it if I see it over here.... but I haven't after all this time.
