It’s time for a new episode of the Real Slashers video series, and with this one we’re looking back at a movie that is finally getting a sequel almost forty years after it was released. It’s the 1984 slasher The Mutilator (watch it Here), and you can find out all about it by watching the video embedded above!
And once you’ve watched The Mutilator get the Real Slashers treatment, you can watch the trailer for the upcoming sequel Mutilator 2 at This Link.
Written and directed by Buddy Cooper, The Mutilator has the following synopsis: When Ed receives a message from his father asking him to go and lock up the family’s beach condo for the winter, it seems like the perfect excuse for an alcohol-fuelled few days away with his friends. After all, his dad has forgiven him for accidentally blowing mom away with a shotgun several years ago…...

If you are a fan of slasher films, the beauty is that there are plenty to see. Not just the recent ones, but a vast history of films that span decades, and some many of us haven’t had the chance to see yet. One of those for me was The Mutilator, which has recently had the Arrow Video Blu-ray treatment…
Years after accidentally killing his mother while cleaning his father’s guns, Ed Jr. (Matt Miller) and his friends take a vacation at his father’s beach house. With signs that Big Ed (Jack Chatham) has been around they give it little though, but at the teenagers start to disappear, the teenagers soon work out that everything is not all as it seems.

Today's feature is not your typical slasher flick... in fact, it's not typical of anything, except maybe the decade in which it was made (it was completed in 1983), and it proudly defies any simple or logical explanation for what it is, or even why it exists. The first feature film from director Gorman Bechard (best known to horror fans for the crazed slasher satire Psychos in Love), Disconnected is better described for what it isn't than what it is: while it does depict a series of bloody murders, it isn't really a by-the-numbers slasher; while it has oddball pretensions of artiness, it's not an experimental/art-house film; and it's hardly ever been seen by the public, outside of a very limited VHS run. I was exposed to Disconnected just last weekend, via a very rare 16mm print at a “Secret Sixteen” screening at the Jumpcut Cafe in Los Angeles... and...

If the writer’s goal was to form a near pointless illogical plot just for the sake of slasher filler, they certainly accomplished their goal! I viewed this for a second time after only seeing a cut version. The uncut version is slightly better but did not redeem how ridiculous this was. This was released through popular 1980s distributor Vestron in 1985. They had a tendency to release anything and everything regardless of quality. I kept sitting through this movie anxious for it to be over! The original title for this movie was “Fall Break.”
The plot starts multiple years prior to the present day. Ed, Jr. (Trace Cooper) accidentally killed his mother with a shot gun. The Dad comes and acts truly bizarre trying to murder his son. He also has a drink and tries to give it to his dead wife. This is one...

Almost one year ago, when we launched at Big Daddy, one of our first posts was about 10 horror films in need of a DVD or Blu-Ray release. The Nesting and Twice Dead which both made the list are now either out on DVD or about to be released. Other titles that made the list included The Pack, Night Warning, Massacre at Central High, Dance of the Damned, Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice, Deadly Blessing, The Kindred and Killer Party. With this second annual edition, we hope to spotlight more horror films that have fallen through the cracks. Titles that haven't been released beyond VHS (with the exception of one, that has only been released to VOD) that need the attention of us horror fans and distributors to make these titles readily available for our horror movie watching enjoyment.
