April 1, 2014Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except was a pretty fun movie. It felt a little amateurish and dated, especially when you consider what the people involved went on to do (Bruce Campbell co-wrote it, and Sam Raimi played the main villain). It was directed by Josh Becker (whose film Lunatics...A Love Story is absolutely wonderful and truly deserves a blu-ray release), and features a cast of mostly unknown actors who didn't really go on to do much else. After losing several of his friends and getting injured during the Vietnam war, Sgt. Jack Stryker comes home to try to live a normal life again. When some of his buddies from the war show up to cheer him up, they end up finding a crazy, satanic cult in the middle of the woods, murdering and torturing innocent people. The soldiers go back into war-mode and start taking out the cult members before they can do any more harm. The movie felt a little long in places, but overall I would say it is worth watching.
