- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025From the blood soaked opening moments, you’ll know exactly what you’re in for. This was great. Supposedly, on initial release Tom Savini was credited with make-up effects. He was apparently only a consultant though, and made them remove his name from subsequent releases. This certainly lives up to the video nasty label. One thing I love about 80’s movies is it perfectly captures parenting of the era where punishments ranged from “Go to your room until tomorrow” to “Go watch TV”. (I got a lot of the latter, obviously).
