The era of the video store is gone, but Blood Rage should live on in themed cocktail parties and midnight screenings.

Rated: 4.5/5

Town Talk (Alexandria, LA)

As bad a film as you will ever see. The editing is so sloppy scenes are shown out of sequence. The only good point of the whole mess is that the long running time is a scant 72 minutes. Actually that is 72 minutes too long.

Fans of bad cinema will enjoy this sleazy little exploitation number; others be warned.

Rated: 1/4

Reel Film Reviews

It’s a fun premise that’s employed to mostly lackluster effect by John Grissmer, as the filmmaker, working from a screenplay by Richard Lamden, delivers a perpetually inept horror flick that contains little in the way of compelling, competent elements.

Rated: 2/4

The Spool

A true gem from the VHS era, back when on-screen “twins” were depicted with one of them always turned away from the camera, rather than a CGI trick.

Despite an intriguing premise, the pic falters. It seems played only for laughs. It might work best if viewed as an oddity.

Rated: B-

An instant classic to any slasher fans catalog. Oozes 80’s. The best Thanksgiving horror movie…hmmm?

I don't know man... I've heard for many years just how bad this movie is, but I don't get it. To me, this deserves classic slasher status. Not only does it feature a cool, fairly unique premise, but it has some great kills, a deliciously bonkers antagonist, and a performance from Lasser that may be a bit hammy, but makes for a tragic, heartbreaking character... This is THE movie to watch on Thanksgiving. It's not cranberry sauce...
