Vic happens upon a rare luger in a shop. He needs to buy this gun and slowly the gun possesses and mutates him into a killing machine.

Obscure low grade movie following a man Vic, in the hope of making some easy money he tries selling an old flames ring in a pawn shop, but instead of recieving cash he gets lured into trading it for a mysterious ww2 German Luger pistol. During a weekend break with his new girlfriend and friends the gun starts to take control over Vic, eventually mutating into his own hand, sending him on a vicious killing spree starting with the pawn shop owner.

Pretty dull film lacking any pace, humor or coherence. The actors sit around most the time in cheesy 80's under wear or tight fit shorts, with next to no involvement with whats happening. The possessed gun as something to do with its original Nazi war criminal owner, but the back story (haha like it tries) is filmed through a truly dire gun barrel visual effect thats like looking down a long pipe at a dot. The only selling point to horror fans and for curiosity reasons only, is the Cronenburg/Videodrome gun in hand mutation rip off. There's a good reason why very few people have seen this film, because its a total turkey.
