MURDER WEAPON
They lust for revenge... They do it at night... And they're more than lethal.

They hold a party and invite all their old boyfriends, making all of them think there is still hope for a relationship. Then the boyfriends start disappearing one by one.

Programmer's Pick
Mobster bloodlines, slasher mayhem, and a party you wouldn’t RSVP to twice—Murder Weapon is a pulpy cocktail of 1980s excess and exploitation. Where else do you get female psychopaths, bare-chested male victims, and a sanitarium backstory all before dessert?
