Summary: Drug use can kill!
Review: Also known as Jackhammer (2004).
This review will be gross and violent to read.
Two over-masculated goons are looking for Jack (Aaron Gaffey). They want money from Jack who is sleeping on a mattress in a workshop. One guy wants to take a jackhammer, but Jack who is suddenly awaken, pleads with the bad guy that is belongs to someone else. So the bad guy gives him a shot with PCP, hereoin and crystal meth. They want to give him a heart attack. The accomplice has heard that it can make him outrageously strong. The bad guy does not believe that. They take some stuff, but the bad guy decides he wants to stay and check out a boom box. Jack comes to and is strong enough to jackhammer the bad guy in the mouth and destroy his face.
Jack continues to be heavy into shooting himself up and kills more people.
Film contains heavy simulated drug use, foul language, graphic violence and female nudity.
This film is garbage and I do not care to see it again. I do not like films that try to glorify drug use.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An endurance test of sorts
Review: This must be one of the most unpleasant horror films I've sat through in quite some time. It depicts extensive drug use and its ugly aftermath, and it centers on one down on his luck guy named Jack who went from successful businessman to wasted junkie and I'm uncertain whether the director is trying to make an anti-drug statement or is simply showing us this for pure shock value. The drug-taking scenes are harrowing, more so than the gory scenes when Jack goes bunkers and starts dispatching everyone with the jackhammer of the film's title. The first half of the film is fine, and Aaron Gaffey's performance is believable and dedicated, it's the second half that falters, where we are introduced to a bunch of awfully acted characters that are there only to be massacred and unfortunately the lack of suspense adds to the tedium and pointlessness of it all. The special effects are good though, and some will make you cringe (Jack's infected arm is barf-inducing). Ultimately, the film is not as bad as most people say it is, as any horror flick that can make you feel like taking a shower afterwards must be doing something right, but with a more creative script this could have been a lot better. For hardcore completists only.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish I could give 0 stars....
Review: This was the biggest piece of crap that I've ever seen. Don't buy it, don't rent it, don't even waste time thinking about it. I can't put into words how utterly terrible this movie was. Watching 30 minutes of it felt like 30 hours--that's how long and boring it is. A group of drunken chimpanzees could act better than the actors in this movie. Yes, it's really that bad. Having teeth pulled is more fun than watching this, and that's no exaggeration.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BAD...a waste of time...mostly a drug movie.
Review: Very bad acting. Mostly about drugs, not horror. But some
gore and nudity. Stupid story. Bad ending. Watch only if
you are thinking of doing drugs. Some crazy hallucinations.
