Beverly Hills Massacre, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Meets Uber

Now there is a connection Tobe Hooper never foresaw. Still, we have a brutal horror film about a nubile babe ride share driver. Sure, it may begin slow, but the last half of this movie is twisted, gory, brutal, and depraved. This is the type of horror where people might yell, "This is some sick f***ing s**t!" Nevertheless, this Jason Toler film has ambition and nerve.  Our feature today is 2025's "Beverly Hills Massacre."

The beginning of this film is right out of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." You'll see. After that nostalgic opening we see the sultry Kelly (Elizabeth Bird) having passionate pre-marital sex with her hunk BF Tommy (Zach Kuntz). We know what happens to those who engage in this behavior in these slasher films. Kelly is an aspiring actress, and we like her.  She is really banking on getting a role in an ice cream commercial. Kelly has not made it yet so she drives a ride share, picking up fares and depositing them. We get to meet her riders, some very interesting peeps in Beverly Hills. Then, through some deception, Kelly picks up Karen (Malia Arrayah). The tall weird woman who  wears a mask and dresses in a tight, short, revealing outfit lies to Kelly and tips her big. Kelly lets her guard down and drives her to a Beverly Hills mansion where she helps Karen bring her bags in.

Uh oh...Karen and her butler (Roy Allen) drug Kelly and lock her in a room with the previous victim, who has her mouth sewn shut. Yep, Karen has plans for Kelly and we get a hint of it when Karen removes her mask and reveals a disfigured face. Kelly will be tortured, bludgeoned with a crowbar, and prepped for... well, you'll see. Oh, there are other guests who have also been locked up and driven to madness.  Kelly is different, she is beautiful and Karen has dibs on her...well, you'll see. What follows is gore, and lurid torture.  Kelly has fight and will not succumb, if she has anything to say about it.

What does Karen want from Kelly?  Will Kelly's hunk BF look for her and come to try to save her? Will the ending of this film be right out of the 1974 Tobe Hooper classic? This is a loud one with disturbing images and plot points.  For a hidden gem, endure the first 35 minutes, and treat yourself to a gory and prurient story of the filthy rich and what they do to us poor schmucks.  See "Beverly Hills Massacre" and think about who needs to be paying more taxes in our country.
