American Mary (2012)

The Blind Rage Podcast heads deep into the scorched wilderness of BLOOD FRENZY (1987), where a group therapy retreat becomes a brutal fight to stay alive. The blazing Mojave sun offers no comfort as fear spreads through the camp and every fresh murder leaves the survivors with fewer places to hide. Lisa Loring (the original Wednesday Addams) appears in this low budget slasher from director Hal Freeman, blending uneasy character drama with sudden bursts of violence across an unforgiving desert landscape. The barren setting traps everyone in plain sight, making each step feel exposed while suspicion closes in from every direction.

Some people will do anything to fit in. BLEED (2002) brings The Blind Rage Podcast into the company of a woman who hears about an exclusive Murder Club and decides spilling blood sounds like a perfectly reasonable membership fee. It starts in a hot tub, where Maddy listens as her new acquaintances casually confess to being killers who cover for one another. Desperate to join their little circle, she later turns an ugly confrontation with a stranger into a cold blooded homicide. Maddy brings the news back to the group, only to learn the Murder Club was a joke. That punchline lands considerably harder when you've already produced a corpse. Then people from the pool party start turning up dead for real. With a white masked killer making everyone's fictional hobby look alarmingly legitimate, BLEED takes its wonderfully ridiculous premise and pushes it even further. Debbie Rochon plays the mounting insanity with total conviction, while Julie Strain and Brinke Stevens lend some scream queen royalty to the proceedings.

Death was supposed to end Sammi Curr's career. Nobody bothered telling Sammi. The Blind Rage Podcast celebrates Halloween with TRICK OR TREAT (1986), the gloriously deranged heavy metal horror flick that turns satanic panic into a full-blown publicity stunt. Marc Price stars as Eddie Weinbauer, a bullied teenage outcast whose favorite rock idol dies in a mysterious fire. Armed with an unreleased Sammi Curr recording, Eddie discovers that playing the music backwards allows him to communicate with his deceased hero. What begins as supernatural revenge against his tormentors escalates into a murderous Halloween comeback, with Sammi determined to make his final performance one hell of a show. Featuring Gene Simmons as a radio DJ and Ozzy Osbourne as a self-righteous televangelist, this outrageous slice of '80s horror proves that rock music really can be hazardous to your health.

For The Blind Rage Podcast, higher education has officially become hazardous with GIRLS SCHOOL SCREAMERS (1986). Seven students from a Catholic college are dispatched to the sprawling Welles mansion to catalog its inherited art collection, only to uncover a diary, a disturbing portrait with an uncanny resemblance to one of their own, and evidence that the family history should probably have remained buried. A séance further poisons the weekend, while an unseen killer starts thinning the enrollment in increasingly gruesome fashion. Shot in the Philadelphia area before Troma acquired it and added extra gore, this low-budget collision of slasher mayhem and supernatural melodrama has enough Catholic guilt to make confession seem like the safer extracurricular activity.

The Puttermans wanted better television reception. Instead, The Blind Rage Podcast finds them receiving a man-eating alien in TERRORVISION (1986), Ted Nicolaou's wonderfully tacky collision of monster horror with science fiction lunacy. A botched extraterrestrial disposal operation sends a mutated Hungry Beast hurtling through space until the Puttermans' new satellite system gives it an unexpected route into their home. Young Sherman discovers that something ravenous can crawl directly through the television, while the adults around him remain spectacularly unequipped to appreciate the problem. Before long, the creature is gobbling up unsuspecting victims and developing a particularly nasty talent for impersonating whatever it has eaten. Gerrit Graham and Mary Woronov preside over the Puttermans with magnificent commitment to the absurd, while Diane Franklin's Suzy seems to have raided an entire '80s shopping mall before arriving on camera. Jennifer Richards adds another layer of beautiful nonsense as horror hostess Medusa. Meanwhile, the Hungry Beast itself is a wonderfully disgusting creation that appears completely at home amid the Puttermans' aggressively questionable decor. TERRORVISION has little interest in restraint. Its comedy is broad, its creature effects are proudly revolting, and Ted Nicolaou pushes the movie's warped personality as far as he can without letting the whole thing escape the television set.

The Blind Rage Podcast explores the explosive chaos of TRUTH OR DARE? A CRITICAL MADNESS (1986), where Mike Strauber’s world implodes after discovering his wife in bed with his best friend. What follows is a relentless spiral into blood‑soaked games, homemade copper masks, and a road‑trip of murderous antics that is equal parts shocking, absurd, and darkly humorous. Every scene delivers over‑the‑top violence and unhinged creativity, making this film a must‑experience cult horror ride. And it's one of Elijah Wood's all-time favorites!

In the shadowy underbelly of aspiring model dreams, The Blind Rage Podcast sinks its hooks into I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2 (2013) where a photoshoot with some sketchy Bulgarian brothers spirals into a vicious cycle of violation, abduction, and merciless payback that leaves no one unscathed. Jemma Dallender delivers a raw turn as Katie, clawing her way through the brutality with a fury that matches the film’s unapologetic grindhouse edge, while the Patov siblings prove that opportunism in the big city can unleash horrors far beyond the camera flash

Tonight, The Blind Rage Podcast crashes THE LAST SLUMBER PARTY (1988), where three friends mark the last day of school with a sleepover to kick off summer break. The vibe is freedom, loud music, and staying up all night. Then an escaped mental patient wanders into the neighborhood and the celebration spirals into pure shot on video carnage. Filmed in New Orleans with raw ’80s nerve, it is scrappy, chaotic, and exactly the kind of late night rental that feels like it should come with a warning label.

Getting married is stressful enough without some lunatic deciding every bride deserves a body bag. The Blind Rage Podcast crashes the ceremony with HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALONE (1980), an early slasher that somehow balances genuine suspense with moments so wonderfully awkward you can't help grinning. Amy Jensen realizes the wedding isn't the only thing racing toward her, while everyone around her seems determined to brush off the obvious. Then Tom Hanks unexpectedly strolls into the movie, reminding us that even America's favorite nice guy had to survive the '80s before conquering Hollywood.

Self improvement gets surgical fast, and The Blind Rage Podcast scrubs in for AMERICAN MARY (2012). Katharine Isabelle is Mary Mason, a cash strapped med student who learns that tuition can be paid in blood money and back room procedures, especially when a strip club connection opens the door to clients with very specific requests. Soon the gigs stop looking like med school labs and start looking like underground art projects, from human doll transformations to extreme body modification performed with icy focus and zero bedside charm. The film mixes grime, pitch black humor, and queasy intimacy, daring you to admire the craftsmanship while questioning your life choices.
