Comments and Reviews


albert 17th Apr 2019		Review This clunky, Halloween-inspired story concerns a released mental health patient who goes around killing people, or maybe he just imagines it, he also visits sordid peep shows and suffers fits, and then he wants to go to the nice suburb where he grew up and bother the family living in his old home. Well something like that. Regrettably the plot is a bit of a mess, there are jarring changes in pace and the tension gets built up then lost several times. Still there are sequences that will stay in the memory long after seeing the film. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



albert 17th Apr 2019		Condemned as a video nasty and banned, sort of, this controversial slasher film has had a difficult history and not for reasons you might think. "Mustn't corrupt the young", but I got to see it at my school's video club [yes really], and I don't think it affected me, ...much, ...well I suppose the axe in my bathroom is, erm, well enough of that. Effects guru Tom Savini was apparently involved, just to give advice, but demanded that his name be removed from the credits once he saw the finished product (and that is one cut that will never be reinstated). It was rumoured that most objections to the film were because of the negative depiction of mental health, though I believe the cuts were for the usual type of things. Most notoriously, in the UK, the distributor ended up with a prison sentence when a previous version of the film slipped out instead of the BBFC-approved cut. The film has recently been released in the UK by 88Films remastered, restored and uncut, though personally I think that they should have trimmed many scenes just to quicken the pace and lose some of the plot holes.

nboldock ● 7th Jul 2015		Uncut full movie (adults only).



nboldock ● 7th Jul 2015		One of the comments on one of the YouTube clips from this says there has never been a UK DVD release of this film - that's not true, as I bought it on DVD, albeit it was a budget release (I lent it out to someone many moons ago though and never got it back). The alternative title "Nightmare" was used in the USA I believe.
