Plot{{more plot|date=October 2016}}A young Luther Watts has a fascination with carnival geeks. When he loses his teeth while at a geek show and has them replaced with a pair of sharp metallic dentures, he acquires a liking for human blood. He begins murdering people by biting their heads off, but is captured and placed in prison. After being in prison for over twenty years, Luther is paroled and released. He begins roaming around his hometown, killing people by eating off their heads. Luther invades a farm, where he holds a mother and her daughter captive. Eventually, he is shot dead by the mother while inside the farm's chicken coop. ProductionLuther the Geek was filmed in Tampico, Illinois and Sterling, Illinois.[1] Edward Terry, who portrayed Luther, only stood five feet tall and weighed 160 pounds, so cameras were strategically placed to give the illusion that Luther was larger than Terry was.[1] In addition, the elderly woman that Luther murders outside of the grocery store was, in actuality, a young woman in a wig and makeup.[1] However, Luther the Geek{{'}}s makeup artist requested to not be credited on the film.[1]Critical reception{{expand section|date=October 2016}}Luther the Geek was included in Adam Lukeman's 101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen.[1] In his book Slimetime: A Guide to Sleazy, Mindless Movies, Steven Puchalski praised Luther the Geek, saying: "Good title. Good film. And it managed to avoid being your basic slasherama with its wonderful title character."[2] Lawrence P. Raffel of Monsters at Play praised Luther the Geek, calling it enjoyable, but also noted that it was not a good movie in the truest sense of the word, saying: "It's enjoyable because of the gore, classic nudity, wacky characters and its many, many jaw droppingly bad scenes. Don't look for a great story, likeable characters or social commentary, because you won't find it here."[3]A review in VideoHound's Cult Flicks & Trash Pics said that the film is "pointless, sadistic, stupid horror sleaze".[4] Home videoLuther the Geek was released on DVD on May 20, 2008.[5] Bonus features include an introduction by Lloyd Kaufman, outtakes and deleted scenes from the film, and an interview by director Carlton J. Albright and his son, who played young Luther in the film.[3]References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Lukeman|first=Adam|title=Fangoria's 101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen: A Celebration of the World's Most Unheralded Fright Flicks|year=2011|publisher=Random House|isbn=1400047498|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hv1dB-9CfNYC}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Puchalski|first=Steven|title=Slimetime: A Guide to Sleazy, Mindless Movies|year=2002|publisher=Headpress/Critical Vision|isbn=1900486210|page=187|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ncsUqOUZ4roC}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|last=Raffel|first=Lawrence P.|title=DVD Review: Luther the Geek|url=http://www.monstersatplay.com/review/dvd/l/luther.php|publisher=Monsters at Play}} 4. ^{{cite book |last1=Schwartz |first1=Carol |last2=Olenski |first2=Jim |title=VideoHound's Cult Flicks & Trash Pics |year=2002 |publisher=Visible Ink Press |isbn=1-57859-113-9 |page=222}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Luther the Geek|url=https://www.amazon.com/Luther-Geek-Edward-Terry/dp/B0007989KM|publisher=Amazon.com}} External links
