Intruder

Intruder (1989)
Director: Scott Spiegel
Starring: Elizabeth Cox, Dan Hicks
Personal Rating: 2.5/5

"Gory slasher mayhem from Evil Dead co-writer Scott Spiegel, this claustrophobic thriller is set entirely in a small supermarket, whose owner is preparing to go out of business. This doesn't sit too well with the film's resident maniac, who busily butchers the night crew using the tools of the trade (hooks, axes, knives, power tools and so on). The victims include Spiegel's pal and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi as the butcher-shop buffoon who meets a nasty end on a meathook; even Raimi's favorite lantern-jawed star Bruce Campbell puts in an eyeblink cameo as a brutish cop. Though the film sports some clever, audacious gore effects from KNB FX Group, most of this footage is absent from Paramount's home video print."-© Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

"A blade-wielding psychopath is on the loose, turning The Big Apple bright red with the blood of beautiful young women.

In the city that never sleeps, he's the killer that can't be stopped."

Silent Night, Deadly Night

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Director: Charles E. Sellier, Jr.
Starring: Robert Brian Wilson
Personal Rating: 3/5

"Offended parents and others protested this slasher film when it was released in 1984 because it portrays Billy (Robert Brian Wilson) as a toy-store Santa Claus who goes on a rampage and axes people to death while still in his Santa garb. Four sequels prove the adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity. When Billy was just a boy he saw someone dressed as Santa murder his parents at Christmas time. Billy's stint in an orphanage did nothing to unwarp his mind (he is tied to his bed for "misbehavior"), and when he starts playing Santa in the store -- much against his wishes since he is deathly afraid of both Christmas and Santa Claus, he first only frightens the children who come to see him. Then his mind snaps, and he repeats the scene he saw as a child, on one person after another, in full gory color." -© Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
