Review of Nightmare at Shadow Woods (1987) by Senor C — 13 Jun 2010
I should probably rate this a little higher because if you're looking for a goreladden mindless slasher w/ nudity Blood Rage satisfies. While @ a drive in 74 a kid hatchets a patron in the head & pins it on his twin brother.
Ten years later the innocent brother escapes from the mental institution & returns home only to give the guilty brother a reason to start killing once again. No mystery. No suspense. Just kills, some sex, a shower & a very strange scene w/ Louise Lasser sitting on the floor in front of the refrigerator eating Thanksgiving leftovers.
Lasser is quite bizarre throughout this. She cleans the house in worry for her son to return home & pleads like a crazy woman w/ the operator. This along w/ Home Sweet Home are the only Thanksgiving based slashers that I know of.
It's too bad neither of them took on the holiday title to beat Eli Roth to the punch.
