Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

gwnightscream This 1981 horror film stars muscle trainer, Jake Steinfeld (Body By Jake) as escaped mental patient, Jay Jones who goes on a killing spree and stalks a group of people celebrating Thanksgiving. Steinfeld is creepy and humorous as the drugged up, psychotic killer with his maniacal laughing and growling. The film as well as the acting is bad, but slightly amusing which is expected by early 80's slasher/horror flicks. There are some moments which may be unintentionally funny, like the beginning with our psycho driving through an elderly woman crossing the street. I'd probably watch this at least once if you're a fan of slashers.

EyeAskance 1981 was a memorably dire year. We had assassination attempts on The President and The Pope. A cement walkway in Kansas City fell, crushing over one hundred people. The first cases of AIDS were reported, California was beset by ravenous fruit-flies, and hundreds of Beirut civilians were wiped-out during Israeli bombings. In select theaters, audiences were subjected to a slasher-film atrocity concerning a musclebound PCP freak who escapes from a nuthouse and proceeds to successively kill off members of a family at their Thanksgiving dinner. That film was HOME SWEET HOME.Groan in pain while you watch famed fitness instructor Jake Steinfeld flex his acting muscles as the cackling killer...somehow he manages to deliriously overplay a character who has virtually no dialog whatsoever. The circumstantial humor in Steinfeld's towering inferno of ham-handed histrionics is, however, the sole glimmer of virtue in this unbearable bagatelle, a bland early entry in the slasher cycle which is surprisingly spare on gore and nudity.Potentially gratifying for ultra-masochistic bad movie fans, I suppose...in this capacity, I might suggest watching it back-to-back with THE FREEWAY MANIAC.3.5/10

zeppo-2 Wouldn't say this is the worst horror film I've ever watched but it's certainly in the running! Most truly awful films are let down in one or two departments, i.e. bad script, acting, direction, special effects, overall budget, etc. This film goes for a full house, bad in every single one!I assume that most of the dialogue is improvised or if not, the scriptwriter is barely literate, incoherent and non-sensible. The escaped mental patient who goes on the killing spree is one of the most inane of all time. To show how deep his madness is, he just laughs insanely all the time. This points out how as an actor, just how good a bodybuilder he is.The rest of the cast are just as bad, weekend friends who are so irritating and annoying,the guy with the Kiss make-up and guitar been the worst, how you will cheer when the killer gets hold of him. You are quite pleased when they are eventually dispatched by the killer. The ones who survive are so bland it almost defies description, when they are supposedly fighting for their lives, the raw emotion displayed is akin to rigor mortis setting in.And the final death scene is probably the worst I've yet seen, remember when you were kids and playing cowboys & indians or soldiers, etc, and when you were shot, some kids would roll over and over as they pretended to die? This is on that level. Truly pathetic.These people involved with this debacle should never be allowed within 100 feet of a camera ever again.Avoid at all cost.

horrorcritic Another killer. Another group of victims. Only this time around the story takes place on Thanksgiving to a Spanish family. The opening of this film suggest where in for one heck of a ride. The opening takes no prisioners in the selection of it's victims, it's brutal and it's even tacky, but it shows a lot of promise. After the opening though, the film settles into predictability. The film's pacing is dramatically slowed down, with your standard stalking scenes and routine murder sequences. A total washout.
