Nightmare at Shadow Woods Trailers

Twins Todd and Terry seem like sweet boys -- that is, until one of them takes an axe to the face of a fellow patron at the local drive-in.

Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
mpaulso "That's not cranberry sauce..."Blood Rage has some GREAT kill scenes and practical effects (machete through the back) and it's filled with 1980's nostalgia from the can-opener beer cans, drive in movies, old video games and short shorts.I was really tempted to give this movie 4 stars. It has a cool unique story of a brother who framed his twin brother for a murder he committed and when his brother breaks out of the mental institution he see an opportunity for another killing spree to frame his brother and get him thrown back in the mental institution again.
David Marcos For some reason, there aren't all that many Thanksgiving-themed slasher flicks, but Blood Rage will definitely quench one's thirst for a decent one. It's easily the best out of the ones that are available (certainly way better than Home Sweet Home).The story is full of twists, mistaken identities, drunken mothers, evil twins, and a whole lot of delicious soap operatics sprinkled in between a series of remarkably bloody and brutal murder set pieces. The acting, besides an inspired (and strange) turn by Louise Lasser, is mostly decent if unmemorable. The real star here is the special makeup effects which range from cheesy to disturbingly realistic.The pacing can drag a bit here and there, but slasher and camp lovers should be more than satisfied with this one. The Arrow Blu-Ray release is the best way to go. The movie has never looked so good (and probably never will.)
Scarecrow-88 "Well, it's not cranberry sauce." Terry and Todd are twin brothers. Terry is a psychopath who, as a child while his mom is making out with a boyfriend in his car at the drive-in, takes a hatchet to a victim screwing his lover in their vehicle for kicks. Terry smears some blood on Todd, rendered catatonic from shock at seeing his brother chop this young man's face numerous times, placing the hatchet in his hand. So mom thinks Todd is to blame, shipping the poor kid to an asylum. Meanwhile it's been ten years and Terry has behaved himself…but the question is for how long before Terry snaps again? Todd has told his psychiatrist over and over that it is Terry who killed that man, but she is not totally convinced (although she is suspicious of Terry, soon learning the hard way that Todd was correct). When Todd breaks out of the asylum, the news is told to his mom, Maddy (Louise Lasser, portraying this character as a bit on the edge, kind of nervy and seemingly uptight) and Terry. This seems to be the switch that turns Terry back into a sadistic, happy-go-lucky lunatic again, using an assortment of killing tools on his school mates and anyone else he is familiar with (including a couple who meet him while he is hanging out with a girl babysitting the single mother's baby).Let's see: machete lopping off a hand, splitting open a head, pulled from a chest wound, impaling straight through a body, a fork stabbed into a throat, a decapitated head hanging from a cord, and a poor victim missing her lower torso and legs (which are a few feet away from her body thanks to the aforementioned machete). The gory kills in "Blood Rage" are not Rob Zombie's favorite kind of violence because they are definitely over the top and gratuitous. Mark Roper, as Terry and Todd, has performances all over the map. His Todd pretty much stays simple-minded and weak, while his Terry is vacant a personality, all smiles when he's wielding his trusty machete. What Julie Gordon's Karen ever sees in Terry is anybody's guess because we never see a side of this guy that is particularly likable or appealing. If you were wondering about nudity, "Blood Rage" also supplies the slasher audience with good news here: Jayne Bentzen is the uninhibited and free-spirited Julie, who smokes pot and likes sex. You know what that means, though, right? Yep, she's dead meat. Not before one of Terry's soon-to-be-dead friends gets a little loving from her first. And for our titillation, Bentzen has a shower scene, bathing her delicious naked flesh. "Blood Rage" is really a relatively unknown slasher that will be of interest only, I believe, to fans of the disreputable genre always in search for obscure "dead teenager" movies (to quote critics who hate slashers). It has all the ingredients and fulfills all the requirements. The characters and plot only service the killing formula, but at least the nutcase has an advantage that allows him an element of surprise on the victims who consider him the normal one and Todd the person to fear. Filmed in Florida, famed state of the great gore director HGL.
trashgang This flick is a special one. It's hard to find the full uncut version, it's only available on VHS so forget the DVD versions available. Even as they have the alternative title. All I can tell about this movie is that the storyline is ridiculous. After 10 minutes it's clear who's the actually killer. But what makes the movie worth searching is the amount of gory killings. If you have the DVD then all the gory moments are gone. On the VHS they are intact and worth watching. The acting itself is not that bad at all. The movie never had that much of promotion, but it is one to have in your collection if you still collect VHS. And as I have seen the other movie Blood Rage be sure to catch the correct one. The blood reign is in this one, not in the other one. So you know what to do....start searching. Oh yeah, and try to catch the movie they are showing at the Drive In, it's from the same writer....
