peteriasillojr My name is Peter Iasillo and I played the part of the hippie "Felix" in the opening shots of "Igor and the Lunatics". The film was originally titled "Like Father" and this was my first time acting in a movie. The scene I was in was directed by Brendan Faulkner (Spookies) as were most of the "action and horror" sequences. In the film, Brendan is the goofy, bearded deputy and director Tom Doran is his partner. Many of the actors that appeared in Igor also appeared in "Spookies" including Peter Dain and Joan Ellen Delaney. The buzz saw scene was filmed at Schultz's Cider Mill in Brewster, NY as were all the scenes for the never released "Killer Dead" also directed by Faulkner and Doran. (SPOLIER ALERT) "Igor & The Lunatics" may well be the only film in history were the girl is cut in half by a buzz saw without being rescued by the hero in the nick of time. A plastic torso filled with fake blood and guts was used for the girl to be cut in half. When it came time to shot the gag, the torso lurched upwards when the buzz saw hit it making it chillingly realistic looking.

FieCrier Pretty incoherent movie about a man who belonged to and left a 1960s superficially hippie religious cult, who fights them sixteen years later. The man has a child with one of the other cultists, who during a raid by the police is hidden away, and taken by another man named Hawk who lives in a small cabin by the river. The cult kills some of its followers or some of the people in town. It's hard to keep track of who characters are, or what time period the scenes are supposed to be taking place. The leader gets paroled sixteen years later (I got that from the box - I missed the amount of time in the movie). Nobody is made to look any older, not noticeably, anyway.One murder is done with a large circular logging saw, others are done with knives or a crossbow. I never heard the title character's name mentioned in the movie, but he's the one who overacts the most, hooting and hollering.The movie is patched together pretty poorly, with voice-over helping (not much) to explain what is going on. Some of the sound effects were pretty bad. A man is getting punched, and we hear the sound of a whip cracking. A woman fires a gun, and we don't hear it fire, but hear a ricochet instead! It doesn't seem to have been done for comical effect.

silentgmusic This film is stupid, insulting, and without continuity. IGOR became infamous as a film that, midway through, uses a whole different set of actors to portray the characters, without an explaination as to why! Most of the actors don't even look the same.With a film as bad as IGOR, though, probably nobody would notice the difference. This is among the worst that Troma has ever released, although as the other comments here have said, there are also some laughs. But, is it worth it?

roarshock This movie has virtually nothing to recommend it. What little creative talents the movie makers had was expended in trying to make a bit of gore, usually poorly... except for one scene. It involves a big old buzz saw, a real one, really sawing, and I found it surprisingly disturbing. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole movie was slapped together simply to justify the effort they put into the filming of that scene. For a dollar or less, you might find it worth renting, especially if you want to steal that scene for your own project.
