What happens

Meatcleaver Massacre is a 1977 American slasher film directed by Keith Burns and Ed Wood, credited to the pseudonymous Evan Lee. It follows a college professor who, after several of his disgruntled students murder his family and leave him permanently disabled, invokes a Gaelic demon to enact revenge. The film was originally released as Hollywood Meatcleaver Massacre in 1977. It was re-released under the shorter Meatcleaver Massacre title in an alternate version that features a bookending prologue and epilogue narrated by Christopher Lee. The footage featuring Lee was actually shot for a different project that never came to fruition, and was purchased by the producers of Hollywood Meatcleaver Massacre, who grafted it onto the film and re-released it.
