Nail Gun Massacre (1985)
[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 1996
SYNOPSIS: A woman is brutally raped by a gang of rowdy construction workers. A short while later, a mysterious slender figure
wearing a black jumpsuit begins running around and nail-gunning construction workers to death (as well as other people who just happen to be in the
wrong place at the wrong time). After a thrillingly un-suspenseful batch
of scenes, the Nail Gun Killer is cornered at a construction site,
suddenly becomes much chunkier inside that rather-too-tight black
jumpsuit, and is finally unmasked. I won't ruin the suspense for you
because there is none. The Nail Gun Killer is the rape victim's brother. That's right. The high point (okay, a "less low than usual point") includes the use of a woman as the killer in every scene ... except the scene where the killer is unmasked. You do the math.
