Blood Rage

"Blood Rage" starts with one twin named Terry who butchers Maddy's boyfriend with an axe when he's ten years old.He puts the axe in his brother's Todd hand so he'll get the blame and so the good brother goes to mental asylum.I guess the good brother never bothered telling his side of the story,because ten years later he's still locked up.One day he escapes though and the evil Terry picks that day to wander around his apartment complex hacking teenagers up with a machete.This obscure slasher flick is quite gory.It is loaded with gratuitous nudity and really bloody murders,so I'm not complaining.The premise of is far-fetched and pretty weak,but if you are a real slasher fan give this one a look.8 out of 10.

Blood rage is a slasher filmed in 1984, but wasn't released in theathers before 1987. It was actually just named slasher and on the title card it says slasher not blood rage. The movie is entertaining and bloody and has everything a slasher should have. The acting is not amazing, but i can live with it. The main character is the killer Terry Simmons acted by Mark Soper who also was Tod Simmons Terry's twin. The killer is revealed in the first scene of the movie, by showing Terry kill a man. Terry blames Todd for killing him, how he does that is by giving him is axe and rubs blood on his face. The characters are decent, they are not memorable, but not bad. The gore is the best part of the movie, the kills are something you should look forward to. So all in all a great and memorable film and i recommend it to everyone who can handle some gore.

The premise is good, the plot weak. There is some bad acting, but boy, oh boy! The practical effects and the gore are just perfection. There are some strong shots, chaos since the beginning and some of the best deaths I've seen. Oh what about that marvelous score?

Wonderfully cheesy slasher, but I wish it'd been a little more over the top. Great gore effects, fun characters; this one's a pretty good time.

A man (Mark Soper) is blamed for murders actually committed by his evil twin (also Mark Soper). This film is written by Bruce Rubin, the Oscar-winning creator of "Ghost" and "Jacob's Ladder", and stars Woody Allen's ex-wife Louise Lasser. Even Ted Raimi makes a small cameo towards the beginning. This film, part of the 1980s slasher cycle, is awfully bloody and gory, but seems to be largely forgotten. It has not seen a proper release since the 1987 Prism Entertainment VHS, and now has to be viewed on CrypticTV or YouTube in less than great quality. Who owns the rights? At this point, if a negative is available, it should be relatively cheap, and would be a solid investment for Scream Factory or a similar distributor.

A young boy commits a brutal axe murder as a child and blames it on his twin brother who gets sent away to an asylum but is released on Thanksgiving, which triggers the homicidal brother to go on another rampage, hoping to blame it on his brother again. Louise Lasser shows up in this cheesy slasher movie and seems to be under the impression that she's in a classier Greek tragedy. This only makes the film better and Blood Rage thankfully has a sense of humor about itself and how ridiculous its premise is. On top of that, all the murder scenes are fairly memorable and inspired with a generous helping of gore.

Maddy (Louise Lasser! Louise Lasser!) takes her twin, ten year old sons, Terry and Todd, to the drive-in theater for some wholesome movie watching fun. Unfortunately, Terry is a homicidal maniac, who can't resist the opportunity to slip out of the car, and murder someone with an ax! To make matters worse, he blames Todd for the murder, causing him to be locked away in a mental institution. Ten years later, Todd escapes, and heads home, just in time for Thanksgiving. BLOOD RAGE is another enjoyable slasher film from the sub-genre's heyday. Overflowing with gushy gore FX, 80's fashions and decor, mountainous hair, and a skull-fracturing synthesizer score, it's a perfect slab of blood-drenched cheddar. Still, in spite of the grisly goings on, the most haunting scene involves Maddy sitting on the floor devouring leftovers. Then, in her horror and grief, she cleans the oven! Vigorously! Drop whatever you're doing and watch this right now...

Todd and Terry are twin brothers. Todd gets put an asylum for ten years after Terry frames him for a gruesome murder. However, Todd escapes from the asylum on Thanksgiving day and heads right for home. Naturally, folks start getting brutally bumped off left and right. Director John Grissmer relates the enjoyable story at a brisk pace, stages the kill set pieces with grisly flair to spare, further enhances things with inspired touches of wickedly funny black humor ("That's not cranberry sauce"), and even tosses in some tasty bare female flesh for trashy good measure. Louise Lasser really hams it up as drunken and distraught mother Maddy, Mark Soper has a ball with his juicy dual roles, and Ted Raimi makes his less-than-auspicious film debut as a guy selling condoms in a drive-in theater men's room. Ed French's excellent make-up f/x deliver the gloriously gory goods. Richard Einhorn's funky pulsating synthesizer score hits the get-down groovy spot. A seriously fun slasher winner.
