Typical 1980s Horror Flick
3 February 2000 | by (Nashville, TN) – See all my reviews

I had completely forgotten this movie until I saw it at the local video store. I first saw this at the movie theater around Halloween 1987, and it was shown as "Nightmare At Shadow Woods." I had no idea it was aka "Blood Rage" and released in 1983. I did think the movie looked a little dated even for such as small gap between 1983 and 1987. I guess the film company wanted to bring it back under a new name to cash in better than its original release. Great gore scenes inserted between some pretty horrifying acting. A weak plot can destroy a movie, but for horror flicks it doesn't matter now does it? Recommended for those who favor more gore over suspense.
