Blood Rage (originally released in 1987 heavily edited as Nightmare at Shadow Woods) is a gore-filled, twin twisting, Thanksgiving day slasher. Young psychopath Terry frames his brother Todd in an axe murder at the drive-in theater and Todd is sent to the mental hospital. Ten years later, Todd has escaped his confines and everyone still thinks he is on a murdering rampage, but instead it's Terry who is getting the job done with his machete. Aside from that general plot outline, not much of the story or dialogue seems to make too much sense. On the flip side, the bitchin' synthwave soundtrack, 80s hair and fashion help transport you to simpler, more awkward (and horny) teenage times. Blood Rage felt like a bad trip from the very start, and Terry's lunatic Thanksgiving catchphrase "that's not cranberry sauce" sadly didn't manage to take off with horror fans around the country like it should have. 7 lopped off hands holding a can of Old Style out of 10.
