Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

gwnightscream This 1987 horror film begins with a woman, her boyfriend and twin sons at a drive-in theatre. Soon, the boys decide to sneak out of the car and one of them commits murder pinning it on the other. Ten years later, the framed twin escapes from the psych ward when his brother starts killing again. This isn't bad despite some cheesy acting and troubling ending, but there's good make-up effects by Ed French who makes an appearance and Ted Raimi (Darkman) also appears briefly. The film was originally shot in 1983 and is also known as "Slasher" and "Nightmare at Shadow Woods." If you're into slasher flicks, you could give this a try at least once.

gravegauze It is such a shame slasher films like these get panned so widely. You can never know which ones are actually good. But I'm here to tell you I am SO glad I watched this one.The movie starts with an incident that happens at a drive-in. Two young twins wander off from their parent's car and one of them, Terry, steals an ax and murders a man in another car. When the twins are discovered, he wipes the blood on his brother Todd's face, and Todd is holding the ax. Terry's brother is sent to a mental institution, while Terry lives with the family for years.I just can't rave enough about this film. This is easily my favorite slasher movie now. It doesn't even play like a B-movie. The kills are absolutely terrific, the story is great and the actors keep it convincing. Not just the kills... there are times where Terry (who notably resembles Heaven 17's Glenn Gregory) jokes around with his bodies. If you're a slasher fan, there's no question: You NEED to see this movie.

Mr_Ectoplasma "Blood Rage" begins with two twin adolescent boys at a drive-in with their mother on a date; the two slink off, and one of them murders a man in his car. Ten years later, the psycho twin is incarcerated in a mental institution. On Thanksgiving, the good twin and his mother go to visit, but find he has escaped. He returns to the woodsy community where his mother lives and begins carving up residents like turkeys.Let's face it—evil twins are to horror films what pumpkin pie is to Thanksgiving. It just works. "Blood Rage," a little-known slasher filmed in the early 1980s, knows this, and takes full advantage of the trope. The film fell into obscurity and wasn't even released theatrically until 1987; it made it to small theaters and B-movie drive-ins, and all but disappeared. What's interesting is that the film actually offers all of the hallmarks that genre fans love about these films: a holiday setting, corny one-liners, young adults copulating, and some impressive special effects set to a pounding synth score. You'd think the film would have at least garnered a cult following, but the limited availability of it until Arrow Video's 2015 release prevented it from ever really catching on.The film is admittedly a mess in areas; some of the performances are hammy and the dialogue contrived, while the pacing is certainly bizarre at times, but for a low-budget B slasher film, these are typically taken for granted, and if anything are part of the charm. Louise Lasser spends the majority of the film boozed out screaming into a telephone and eating Thanksgiving leftovers on her kitchen floor, while her good twin boy searches ruthlessly for his unhinged brother. Bodies start piling up, and elaborate gore effects take precedent over plot development at times. The script overall is vaguely sketched and doesn't completely feel rounded out, and the film does suffer from a frankly nonthreatening villain, but the final act is tongue-in-cheek and well handled.Overall, the film is a nice slice of eighties slasher pie that somehow got left behind. It's not a great film by any means, but it's also not a bad one when pitted against the genre standards. The ending is rather grim, and Lasser's turn as the mentally destroyed mother is hammy, Oedipal, and at times poignant. In many ways, the film reminded me of "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker," another eighties slasher that never really caught on, in both tone and thematics. "Blood Rage" is most definitely worth a look for genre fans, and is a hokey, gory effort if nothing else. 6/10.

trashgang This flick is a special one. It's hard to find the full uncut version, it's only available on VHS so forget the DVD versions available. Even as they have the alternative title. All I can tell about this movie is that the storyline is ridiculous. After 10 minutes it's clear who's the actually killer. But what makes the movie worth searching is the amount of gory killings. If you have the DVD then all the gory moments are gone. On the VHS they are intact and worth watching. The acting itself is not that bad at all. The movie never had that much of promotion, but it is one to have in your collection if you still collect VHS. And as I have seen the other movie Blood Rage be sure to catch the correct one. The blood reign is in this one, not in the other one. So you know what to do....start searching. Oh yeah, and try to catch the movie they are showing at the Drive In, it's from the same writer....
