Blood Rage
Release Date: 25th August 2015
Format: Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD
Starring: Louise Lasser, Mark Soper, Marianne Kanter
Directed by: John Grissmer
Synopsis: IT’S NOT CRANBERRY SAUCE!!!
What do you get if you combine Thanksgiving, American TV star Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman), killer 80s synths and some of the most gruesome special effects in all of slasher history courtesy of Ed (Terminator 2) French. Why, it’s Blood Rage of course!
Todd and Terry seem like sweet kids – that is, until one of them takes an axe to face of a fellow patron at the local drive-in. Todd is blamed for the bloody crime and institutionalised, whilst twin brother Terry goes free. Ten years later and, as the family gathers around the table for a Thanksgiving meal, the news comes in that Todd has escaped – and he’s heading their way. But has the killer twin in fact been in their midst all along? One thing’s for sure, there WILL be blood…
Filmed in 1983 at the tail-end of the slasher golden era but not released until 1987, Blood Rage (also re-cut and released to theatres as Nightmare at Shadow Woods) has been lovingly restored from the original vault materials for its first ever appearance on Blu-ray and DVD. Happy Thankskilling!

Re: Blood Rage
Unusual ratio for an in-house Arrow restoration (a first?). The booklet and case incorrectly state 1.85:1. They also state stereo sound even though the soundtrack is decidedly mono.

A supercut of Louise Lasser trying to call her boyfriend would not be terribly different from the feature film itself!

Re: Blood Rage
She's amazing in this film, wandering about in a daze with a glass of wine in one hand and vacuuming with the other! She also does a pretty great riff on the fridge scene from 9 & 1/2 Weeks in one shot, although it does make it seem more tragic than sexy when she is the only character sat on the floor surrounded by and covered in all the food!

Re: Blood Rage
That's not the only tragic thing she achieves with one shot!

Re: Blood Rage
Sorry about that, I forgot that Blood Rage had been made a few years before it was officially released!
