Psychotic Saturdays! Six Slasher Filled Slaughter Films!



005 - CopyToday is Psychotic Saturdays! My focus on cinema this week is the Slasher. The fictional boogeyman based on the real life monster we call the serial killer. Since it is Halloween time I am putting the psycho of the fantasy world in my sights instead of the films that focus on more brutal and realistic slaughters of the lambs by a very present threat of the lurking killer in the shadows of the streets in nearly every town. Such a downer to focus on them when we can obsess on the supernatural blood lust of the mythical killer we all love to cheer on.







1. Blood Rage (1987)

Blood-Rage“Blood Rage” was directed by John Grissmer and stars Louise Lasser, Mark Soper and Marianne Kanter. The film was originally shot in 1983 but wasn’t released until 1987. It has a man’s evil twin committing the murders that he is suspected of.
