dr. chopper starts shortly after teenager nicholas (robert adamson) mum has died and he is still cut up about it but every cloud has a silver lining and in this case it appears that his mum owns a log cabin at lake tatonka the self proclaimed friendly place for happy people that she do not tell him about. so nicholas together with his girlfriend jessica (chelsey crisp) and three friends and jimmy (butch hansen) and reese (chase hoyt) and tamara (ashley mccarthy) head out there for a fun weekend. unfortunately things do not go according to plan and the cabin turns out to be little more than a run down shed and their neighbours turn out to be dr. chopper (ed brigadier) and his two nurses who go around killing anyone they meet to use them in horrible experiments. going straight to video or dvd dr. chopper was edited and directed by lewis schoenburn and this film seems to be having a hard time here on the imdb with some pretty harsh reviews and while i think dr. chopper as a horror film is pretty worthless i do not think some of the criticism i have read is entirely justified. the script which takes itself very seriously is credited to ian holt (whether he likes it or not. ) who has a role in the film as detective crocker according to the imdb cast list although i can not remember any character of that name and maybe he was one of the cops at the start. anyway and the basic story is alright i suppose although it a tad dull and lasts for too long and it typical slasher fare with some sort of evil character running around bumping off our annoying american teen cast and you know the drill by now. besides some brief and undeveloped nonsense about dr. chopper using body parts to replenish his own deteriorating body there not much story here and the script seems to exist solely to invent situations for girls to take their tops off and there the inevitable sex scenes and there a sequence where some girls have to complete a sorority house initiation topless and there even a couple of lesbians here as well one of whom is seen without her full compliment of clothing. oh and  and when i say topless i mean they aren not wearing any tops but they all keep their bras on so you may want to bear in mind there isn not any actual full frontal nudity in dr. chopper at all. so there you have it really and it an average story that has a mildly surprising twist at the end which is wasted and is populated with poor clichéd dumb character that exist only to showcase some cheap gore scenes and girls in bras. to be honest i expect a little bit more from my films but then again maybe i am just being picky. director schoenburn does ok actually and this is by no means the worst looking film i have seen although it still looks cheap. there no style here and i do not think it was scary and there no atmosphere either. the gore is restrained and restricted to some dead bodies and severed limbs and there nothing new here or any particularly convincing special effects. dr. chopper is also one of those films where character decisions and motivations are ridiculous. technically this is a little rough around the edges but is reasonably well made on what was probably a really low budget and the forest locations are suitably isolated although the cops office looks like someones front room and the two nurses outfits at the start look like stripper outfits. the acting is alright and it could have better but i have certainly seen worse. dr. chopper indeed features a doctor who rides around on a chopper motorbike but unfortunately that just isn not enough to satisfy me and despite it being a reasonably competent production the lack of any real gore and nudity or a decent plot sinks it without trace.
