Kolobos is quite an endearing premise, with quite an original title for the film being Kolobos which is Latin for mutilation. Alright its low budget, as low of a budget as you are gonna get especially in the late 1990's. I remembered seeing this film, when my family rented it from the video store for a Friday night horror shocker. It stayed with me for many years, the simplicity of a television turning on and showing a man cutting away layers of his face laughing hysterically really creeped me out as a child so I always kept my eye out for it, and saw it at least once every three years when it was on the budget horror channel and one day I saw it to buy and forked out for it, childhood memories of being scared to my wits of a man who seemed to have a fondness of some gruesome ways to murder his victims in the locked down house.

There were some ingenious methods of murder used in Kolobos, including a gory kitchen scene when a saw-type of launcher fires off a razor Sharp saw gutting its intended victims pretty much in half and then there is the shower scene, of acid pumped into the mains and eventually the horrific curdling Deer Antler scene which many who have seen Kolobos will remember.

Its not a film to write a lot of praise for, its dated and very low budget but its a good film that you can enjoy thinking of the old 90's horror nasties.
