  • Office Killer
  • Favorite screen stars Jeanne Tripplehorn (MICKEY BLUE EYES, SLIDING DOORS), Carol Kane (THE PALLBEARER, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES), and Molly Ringwald (TEACHING MRS. TINGLE, BETSY'S WEDDING) head a great cast in this campy and darkly hilarious thriller! Dorine (Kane) is a quiet and hardworking social outcast who has endured years of abuse as the office doormat. Then one day, this mild-mannered paper pusher accidentally electrocutes one particularly obnoxious coworker ... and in the process, completely short-circuits her already unstable sanity! From that moment on, Dorine comes to believe that any office mate can be her best friend -- once they're dead! An outrageous display of the creepier side of office politics -- Dimension Home Video is pleased to bring you an unusually entertaining motion picture that's destined to kill you with comedy!

    Trashy, stupid, schlock-y, and completely dull.

    Some of this is insulting, all of it is tedious.

    The film opens with some intriguing and old-fashioned credits set to an ominous score. That’s the high point.

    No terror or suspense occupies this tired, gloomy vacuum, not to mention wit or humor.

    A pretentious pseudo-parody of a serial-killer movie.

    The measure of this film's failure is that when the nasty stuff happens, we don't laugh and we really don't care.

    As lifeless as the corpses that pile up in mousy Carol Kane's basement.

    Extra points for liberal use of chicken innards as wholesale gore. Minus points for not being funny enough.

    A wry and intellectual romp through B-movie cliches -- without stinting on the gore and mayhem.

    Despite running only 81 minutes, Sherman's debut feels distended, perhaps because it flutters around from black comedy to Grand Guignol to character study, rarely touching down on any of the above.

    It can't decide what it wants to be -- slasher fest, social satire or revenge comedy -- and ends up being an awkward goulash.

    It doesn't offer a single moment of visceral or emotional electricity.
