So wheres the menacing bloody knife from the poster? I only spotted the one at the Thanksgiving feast. Despite this , Bloody Rage is worth your time as it is packed with the usual campy horror tropes, tricks and gore. Did I forget to mention that both Terry and Todd are played by the same actor, Mark Soper? Y’know because they’re twins. And yes, there is a twin face off that uses a poorly done double. M. Soper does a good enough jobs keeping both characters distinct. Terry picks off people around the apartment complex one by one wielding his machete. Machete? I’ve got to question why that was the default. As if it wasn’t an obvious take away from Friday the 13th. An array of other weapons are used such as a hand axe, barbecue fork, saw, harpoon, and maybe a extension cord. The affects are charming enough to keep your attention. Although, what does set Terry apart from other slashers is his calm happy go lucky attitude, devilish smile, and those piercing green eyes; almost lizard like if you ask me. There is decent sized cast to be ran through the mill. The doctor and assistant, Terrys gang of college friends, and a couple of neighbors.

Beyond that, there isn’t much going on with the characters, dialogue, camera work, lighting, etc. I do want to mention that the music was put together by Richard Einhorn who also worked on other horror films such as Shock Waves, The Prowler, Eyes of a Stranger, and Dont Go in The House. He absolutely delivers with some heavy synth action. And for any Non-Horror fans he also has done phenomenal work on The Passion of Joan of Arc (Disclaimer, its a 1920’s french silent film).
