The Original ‘Toolbox Murders’ Kills Again With New 4K Ultra HD Restoration [Trailer]

“When you stop screaming, you’ll start talking about it.”

Blue Underground recently announced that they’re bringing the 1978 exploitation film The Toolbox Murders to 4K Ultra HD, and the release trailer has arrived this afternoon.

Directed by Dennis Donnelly, The Toolbox Murders comes to 4K in January 2022.

In The Toolbox Murders, “A ski-masked maniac kills apartment complex tenants with the contents of a toolbox.”

“In a quiet apartment complex in Los Angeles, a deranged handyman goes on a killing spree, savagely murdering ‘immoral’ women with the tools of his trade – claw-hammers, screwdrivers, power drills and even a deadly nail gun! But these gruesome massacres are just the beginning of this landmark epic of violence and depravity that was vilified by critics, banned by censors, and treasured by splatter fans worldwide. This is… THE TOOLBOX MURDERS!”

Blue Underground teases, “Now experience one of the most shocking exploitation films of all time at its bloody best, as The Toolbox Murders has been newly scanned in 4K 16-bit from its uncut original negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio, and gushing with new and archival Extras!”

The film was remade by Tobe Hooper in 2004.
