Reviews:

Great title. Mediocre movie.
On Sundays, Steve Belmont (Eli Rich) works at his local church as a teacher for the Department of Christian Education; the rest of the week he earns a meagre crust as a security guard, and spends his spare time picking up and killing women (mostly hookers), disposing of their bodies in the Mojave Desert.

Murderlust is a low budget mid-’80s serial killer flick that isn’t grimy, gory or sleazy enough to get under the skin in the way that a classic like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer does. Eli Rich is fairly effective as the killer, effortlessly switching from concerned, upstanding citizen to worthless scumbag, and his relationship with unsuspecting blonde Cheryl (Rochelle Taylor) is nicely developed, but the pace severely drags in places, with the frequent appearance of his nosy cousin Neil (Dennis Gannon) being particularly dull.

The most exploitative scene comes when Steve forces one of his young victims, a rather plain looking schoolgirl, to fellate him at gunpoint; the act is suggested rather than shown, but it still proves to be the film’s most memorable moment for at least attempting to push the envelope.

Just when you thought it was safe again to step in cars with strangers! No, wait…
This dull and practically bloodless “thriller” tries hard to draw a smart and ambitious portrait of an atypical serial killer, but fails – and painfully – on every level. The main reason why “Murderlust” is unable to convince (or convince me, at least) is because the contrast between the two personas of the murderer/protagonist is too enormous and far too implausible. The guy, Steve Belmont, supposedly is a conservative Sunday school teacher and a respected member of a small catholic community during the weekend. But from Monday to Friday he lives – in that same small catholic community – in a flat that looks like a sleazy motel room, gets fired from simple security guard jobs and cruises around in a B.A. Baracus van to pick up prostitutes and wayward teen girls, so that he can strangle and dump them in the Mojave desert. Seriously, who believes that?

Other reviewers referred to “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer” already. Why is that movie so effective and considered to be a cult/horror classic? Simple, because Michael Rooker – as Henry – is genuinely petrifying. Steve is never menacing, not even when he puts a gun against an innocent girl’s head and forces her to cure his impotence. If this isn’t bad enough already, “Murderlust” is also boring, monotonous, slow, and most of the amateur cast members can’t even properly articulate.
