This 1987 horror film begins with a woman, her boyfriend and twin sons at a drive-in theatre. Soon, the boys decide to sneak out of the car and one of them commits murder pinning it on the other. Ten years later, the framed twin escapes from the psych ward when his brother starts killing again. This isn't bad despite some cheesy acting and troubling ending, but there's good make-up effects by Ed French who makes an appearance and Ted Raimi (Darkman) also appears briefly. The film was originally shot in 1983 and is also known as "Slasher" and "Nightmare at Shadow Woods." If you're into slasher flicks, you could give this a try at least once.

"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.

Not a bad movie. Still fun with PLENTY of blood... and lots of sex that would be fine for late night. I would have rated it higher, but there was very little creativity from the special effects and writing of the scenes to make them interesting. It's pretty much like Friday the 13th except for not as memorable or psychologically twisted. That being said, still one to have around if you want to see some straight bad acting, run-of-the-mill nudity, and basic bloodletting.

Two ten year old twins sneak away from their parents at a drive-in. One of the boys viciously slaughters a man and blames the other for the crime. The latter is sent to a facility for the criminally insane and ten years later he escapes and returns to the family fold while the evil twin sees this as an ideal opportunity to begin a mass killing spree.Blood Rage is one from the vast selection of slasher movies that came out in the golden period of the genre, the 80's. I was pretty surprised to learn that it was made in 1983 but actually sat on the shelf for four years before being released in '87. My surprise comes from the fact that I have seen a few slasher movies from this time-period and this to me was definitely one of the better ones! So lord only knows why it was deemed unreleasable until the late 80's, when the slasher craze had begun to wane. Anyhow, for what it's worth, this one was somewhat entertaining and I was never truthfully bored. It has a typical dumb story-line naturally but what can really be expected? More to the point it contains quite a commendably copious amount of OTT violence, including bloody slashings, a woman cut in half, someone getting a fork in the neck, while we also have hands and heads being lopped off. So, points allocated for effort I would say. It's also probably worth acknowledging too that Mark Soper does pretty well with the dual role of the weak and crazy twin brothers, I mean we're not talking Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers (1988) levels of thespian emoting but he did well enough with what he was given I thought. All-in-all, this is not a bad effort at all for this kind of thing.
