I enjoyed this movie, it was not at all like the original "Toolbox Murders" made in 1978 staring Cameron Mitchell in which I liked better than this one but I was also relieved that it was not like the original but I do think that the title and original theme of a maniacal killer that goes around from apartment to apartment killing it's tenants was taken from the original. I liked the creepy looking goth type janitor; he was the only reason I kept watching the movie. The ending of the movie in which we figure out who the killer actually was was a big disappointment. Common....a baby being born to a dead mother? Nice twist but I was like "what?" When I did find out who the killer was. It had it's times with suspense and the usual goriness that Tobe Hooper has in most of his movies. It was a good movie to watch but I wouldn't own it or call it one of my favorites.
