THE TOOLBOX MURDERS is a US horror thriller, from 1978, in which a series of murders of women take place in an apartment complex.
- Violence
Women are murdered using a variety of tools, including a drill, a hammer and a screwdriver. There is sight of blood both during and in the aftermath of these killings. A naked woman is chased through her apartment before being killed using a nail gun.
A man forces himself on a woman, who struggles and resists. It is implied that he subsequently rapes her, although no rape is shown.
In one scene a man is stabbed, also with some bloody detail. Another man is set on fire.
- Nudity
A naked woman masturbates and caresses herself in a bath. There is some focus on breast nudity but no explicit detail.
There is sight of porn magazines, featuring full female nudity.
There is further breast nudity when a woman changes her clothes.
Other issues include an implied car crash, with bloody aftermath detail, moderate verbal sex references and mild bad language (eg 'shit').
