I loved Luther the Geek. The main character is pretty hilarious and the portrayal of the hospital system that releases him is a hoot.
Made a bunch of my friends watch this with me and they were complaining at first, because it was a slasher (they don't love slashers), but within 10 minutes they were fully on board with this whacked-out film.
One feature that makes it stand head and shoulders above many slashers for realism is that Luther, after having been locked up for 30 years, has no idea how to drive a car or ride a bike, or cook, or do ANYTHING. Which makes sense. But he's still pretty amazing. Also the body count is realistically small, since Luther doesn't have supernatural teleportation abilities, and can be fooled. He's only human.
In the end, Luther's mannerisms and vocals are so funny that I was completely enamored of him and the whole film. My friends liked it too, but as non-slasher fans, I'll admit they liked it less. I rated it an 8, they said it was a 6, so I split the difference and made it 7.
