Blood Rage is a 1987 Slasher Movie, which is also known as both Nightmare at Shadow Woods and Complex.In 1974, while at a Drive-In Theater with his mother Maddy, and his twin brother Todd, a young boy named Terry Simmons brutally murdered a fellow moviegoer and framed Todd for it. Traumatized by witnessing what his brother had done, Todd fell into a catatonic state and was placed in a mental institution, while Terry went on to live a normal life with their mother, even getting a girlfriend named Karen. Unfortunately for Terry, a decade after the murder, Todd starts to come out of his shell, and regains the memories of what really happened all those years ago; he subsequently manages to escape the asylum on Thanksgiving. This, coupled with Maddy's intention to marry her boyfriend Brad (who owns the sprawling apartment complex where they live) causes Terry to snap and go on a killing spree.The film has a bit of a convoluted history. While made in 1983, it was shelved until 1987, when a severely cut version of the film (dubbed Nightmare at Shadow Woods) showed up in a few theaters, while that same year the original uncut version of the film was released on VHS by Prism Entertainment. Some seventeen years later, Nightmare at Shadow Woods was released to DVD by Legacy Entertainment. Arrow Video released the film on Blu-ray in 2015 with both cuts, plus a third version combining all the footage of both cuts.The film (the Blood Rage version, that is) is also known for being gory as Hell. | |

Pool Scene: The film's climax takes place in one. There's an earlier scene where Terry and his friends all hang out at said pool, but it's only on the censored Nightmare at Shadow Woods VHS version (which cuts the much more important hospital scene to make room for it). | |

Psychopathic Manchild: Interestingly, all the main characters can be said to be this. Maddy is an overgrown little girl in denial, Terry is a bigger Chucky who just wants to "play" with his victims in the most violent ways possible, Todd is stunted to the point where he tries to push one of the killer's victims back together, and Karen is a hysterical ninny. | |

Developing Doomed Characters: Julie's only with Bill to secure a financial future for herself and her baby.

Word Salad Title | |
| Blood Rage / int_9c550e26 | comment |
Word Salad Title: This film has no fewer than four different titles. It was originally called Complex (like an apartment, not Oedipal, although with the way this film's killer acts you'd be forgiven for thinking so). The director renamed it to the much more generic and direct Slasher, which was then changed to the film's most well-known title, Blood Rage. Unsatisfied with just three titles, the film snuck one more in when it was renamed yet again to Nightmare in Shadow Woods for its VHS release. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Blood Rage / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Naturally, given that it's a slasher film played straight. Jackie. Even though he knows a dangerous killer is out and about, he still feels like it's a good time to toke up, and when Terry arrives he lets it slip that Dr. Berman suspects he might be the real killer. Dr. Berman. She has helped Todd unearth his buried memories that strongly implicate his brother of being the true murderer, but she still goes to Shadow Woods with only a single assistant and doesn't bother to have anybody keep an eye on the brother she suspects to be the true murderer. Naturally said true murderer quickly comes after her, and instead of trying to shoot him she just screams like a ninny. Julie. After finding her boyfriend's severed head, she, instead of immediately running away with her baby, decides to grab a big coat and struggle to put it on. Also, no one bothers to call the police or hold up somewhere, even though they know there's a potentially dangerous killer lurking about. | |

Irony: Todd tells a little girl there's a bad man on the loose, and to go home and lock the door, and to not let anyone in, no matter what they say. When Karen later comes banging on the door while running from Terry, the girl refuses to let her in. When Brad gets his hand cut off, a preacher on the nearby radio says something to the effect of "an eye for an eye, and a hand for a hand". | |
